TOP QUOTE
"Tonight we were able to increase our score significantly in the team routine. Although we had a couple of mistakes, the team improved its execution in that event overall. We tried a few new tumbling passes today and still have some room for improvement. Toni Bronisevsky competed in the aerial pass and scored a 9.8 which is impressive for her first time out. I am very proud of this team. We want to peak at the right time, and I am very happy with where we are right now in the season."
