HEAR FROM COACH REIVE
“We put out five guys tonight. Bennet had a fantastic all-around meet. Andrew did a beautiful high bar routine. Nick had a beautiful pommel horse routine. Jake stuck his vault two days in a row, which was awesome. They performed great. The energy and the venue was top-notch and super exciting. To be a part of that and experience that with the guys and the way they performed was exactly how I wanted to end our season.”
