Head Coach Kaelyn Cowan's Post-Meet Thoughts
"This was one of our best days that we've had all season. I would say the highest point for us was compulsory acro itself, and then the compulsory event along with the acro event. That was super amazing for us to finally complete those, how we do at practice. We're really excited."
