Golden Eagles –
Thank you for all of your hard work and your dedication with
the long day at the Davis Invite. We had a lot of good things happen at this
meet and a lot of lessons learned by all of us at this meet. Taking the lessons
from each meet will only make us stronger as a TEAM and as individual athletes.
There are always things to learn, and this meet and the last two have really
helped remind all of us of the basics and fundamentals. It is by following the
basics & the fundamentals, along with your hard work & cheering each other
on that our TEAM will be able to achieve our goals.
