Coach Mel Knobloch Said
"I was extremely impressed with the dance team today and how they performed in both the prelims and the finals. The competition for 1st through 5th place was very close and tough, and ended up swapping around from prelims to finals. The team gave a very clean performance today, with lots of energy and great execution, and it helped us to achieve our highest scores yet of the season. The amount of growth and progress that each one of these dancers has made throughout the season has been awesome to see as a coach. We have some really great senior leaders on the team this year, and it was great to see them finish out their GPAC Championship with such a strong performance this weekend, and I am extremely proud of them."
