QUOTING COACH WOODY:
“I thought for our first multi-meet we had some decent performances. The atmosphere was a lot different than being a part of a normal meet, so I credit the girls for trying to bring their own energy. I thought they competed well, and although the scores weren’t what we were hoping for, I know we will make big improvements over the next four weeks as we prepare for the Big Ten Championships.”
UP NEXT:
The Hawkeyes head to Nebraska to compete at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational on February 5th and 6th.
