Quotables

"Any weekend that presents an opportunity to compete is something to be thankful for. Our team competed well, handled some adversity, and performed at high level in a number of the events. Overall, very pleased with the day."
"There is always something to be learned from a performance. Today had its ups and downs, but I am confident in our athlete's ability to learn from their performances - good or bad – and come back in a better spot next week"
