Alabama Gymnastics Defeats Auburn in Mid-Season Clash
Table of Contents
“Our sixth meet – halfway through the season, knowing we can handle anything. We’ve gone in with the mentality that no matter what the chaos a rotation brings, we know we can handle it – to be present, to be where our feet are, and I think the team did a really great job of stepping up tonight.”
“I feel like championship teams are those that can go five up-five count when it matters. I think that moment [on beam after Cawley’s fall as leadoff], while it stung a lot as the win was in our grasp, I do think that moment is going to be the push and the drive that carries this team even further. We have to be thankful for moments like that because thay prepare us for cutthroat environments. This was an amazing surroundings, but the team was certainly nervous. They train for that but there’s nothing quite like having to go five up-five count in that situation. I think it made us better.We’re going to learn from it, figure out what we need to tweak and put it into our practice next week.”
