We had a good night. We had some solid performances.

Aside from that, we were very strong. Obviously the confidence levels are up, and it's starting to show in the routines.

It's frustrating because through the season, we've seen our scores go up. In Rice Lake we were in the 130s. Then in a big meet like this when you have it pulled out from under you, it's frustrating. Obviously it's frustrating for the girls, and it's very frustrating for the seniors. I was very proud of our performance. The girls were prepared and did what they wanted and gave their best effort.

The three girls in our top rotation seem to be taking turns at the top spot. The best thing would be for all three to hit their top zones Saturday. They have the potential to do that. The other girls are contributing and continuing to build. They're cleaning up their routines and things that cost you 10ths (of a point).

They're very excited. They don't really know what to expect, but everything will be OK.

Overall things went OK. I'm picky as a coach. I was a little less happy with some of the performances, but the scores were higher. The girls have strong routines, and they hit a lot of their skills. They're working on cleaning up their routines. They're coming together, and as a team they look strong.

The state meet is always so big. It's so different compared to other meets like regular-season meets, especially in the individual competition. There are a lot more teams with individual (qualifiers) than teams. So it's louder, and there's a band playing, so it will be different.

We rested her the last meet at Superior. Tonight we wanted her to compete in all four events one more night. I'm sure she'll lay low the rest of the week to rest up. But it looks like she's peaking at the right time.

I still think we're right up there, but there's still work to do. We're a strong team.
