As a coaching staff we're trying to make sure (the gymnasts) feel confident in what they're doing. We reassure them that the gymnastics they're doing looks really good, and they're going to be ready.

Every week our goal is to try to make it very difficult for the judges. They have to dig deep to try to find a deduction.

The nicest thing about (Saturday) is that we finished out on floor. For the freshmen coming into this, it's a big step for them to make sure they complete the whole meet.

There's been one event that's given us issues each weekend. The one thing that was disappointing (last weekend) was that we kind of fell through on beam, which was really good the first two weekends.

We had positive results from our freshmen to our seniors. We are pleased with the team outcome, and our performances were strong.

We just keep getting better. We realized we can do this, and we put it all together as a team.

We're trying to be consistent and we're trying to be perfect. We don't have any defense - we can't do anything else against (the other team) - we have to do what we are capable of ourselves.

We're just going to try to improve from our last week during this weekend's competition, and if we do well, I have a feeling we'll stay on top.

You can almost guarantee that they thought about the last two weeks a little bit. And depending how strong the team is mentally, it can either attack much harder or let the last two weeks fester and compete more conservatively.

The athletes were energetic and excited to start on bars, but they were a little conservative. They wanted to stay on and get through it to have an opportunity to perform well on the next event.
