we did last week against Oklahoma State, but just cleaning it up. They really did that today. They came out just as confident as they did last week. They were cleaner in some places. Very minimal mistakes across the board. Just carried that confidence into
this week and all four events and every ride they put into the arena today. Very proud of them.”<br>
