Coach

As a team, we feel really grateful for the opportunity to compete this spring, and are looking forward to one more dual meet to wrap up our season. We have a lot of love for our seniors, and our final meet will give us an opportunity to honor them - and the many ways they have contributed to our happy team culture."
