From the Coach
> "We can build on this performance," said head coach Josh Nilson. "We can get better from this meet because the team gave maximum effort. We have things we need to work on and polish. We are quite a good bars team, but we will go back to the drawing board in practice and figure out what we need to do on bars to get it done. Today's performance does not reflect who we are or how we train. I'm really pleased with the other three events, but we will continue to build and improve on those as well."
