Coach Mandy Godbee said, “I am so impressed with these athletes. They have trained hard in the off season, and they are so far ahead of where they were as a team last year. We normally do not compete until the last week of February, but this year it was a test to see where we stand and what we need to work on. I am excited about what's to come, I believe they have a very promising season ahead!”
