I am extremely proud of how these girls composed themselves and rose to the level of competition presented. We have a fairly young team (1 - 7th grader, 2 - 8th graders, 2 - 9th graders, and 1 - 11th grader) and with all of them competing at the state competition, I continue to look forward to each new season with a "what's next" approach.
