or transfers that have joined our program this year. This was about letting them see how everything runs for a home meet. I’m super proud of the team as a whole rolling with the punches this entire week, especially today, and still staying on point. Working
really well together and putting out some solid rides. I couldn’t ask any more of them.”<o:p class="ContentPasted1"> </o:p></span></p>

very different. It’s so nice to have your teammates cheer you on and getting to see all the new faces with the freshmen. I just wanted to come out here and get my nerves out a little bit. Get everything back underneath me.”<o:p class="ContentPasted1"> </o:p></span></p>
