In her own words...
Head coach Amber Myers on the team's performance...
"It was very exciting to begin a normal competition season again after almost 3 years, and what better way to do it then in front of your home fans! With it only being the second time, we performed our routine full out I am very proud of the effort that our girls put in and I'm excited to continue to watch them make improvements and grow as we move into our competition this weekend. It's always a good day when you can go home with first place!"
