This team has taken on several new events and I am so proud of their willingness and bravery to take on any challenge presented to them. We don’t have all the advantages of the bigger schools when it comes to our training, but what we do have is something money can’t buy: we are a team of determined, brave, and naturally talented athletes who want to get better for themselves and each other. Success and growth is earned through hard work and these athletes are not afraid to put in the work for their goals.
