Coach Mel Knobloch Said
"It was great to kick off our competition season this weekend and perform our routines for the very first time. At each of the three competitions we got a lot of great feedback from the officials, which we are excited to apply to our routines moving forward. This was definitely a good starting point for our teams, and I am excited to see how they will continue to grow and improve over these next few weeks of competition!"
