Hey Terp Fans!

Well our second meet of the year is over and it could not have been a closer meet between us and our fellow EAGL rival, West Virginia University. Although we didn't come out of the meet with the team win, I am happy with the way that everyone performed this weekend. We made so many improvements on every event; it was really an amazing meet to watch.

We started the meet off strong on vault with amazing performances by Abigail Adams and Brandi George. Then we went to bars and saw some really solid routines, especially by Allison who has won bars in both our first and second meets. Beam was a little more difficult with a couple falls, but the team stepped it up and had five good scores count. We finished the meet off strong with floor having six hit routines. For the second week in a row, Michele Brenner stole the show on floor with her amazing dance and tumbling.

With the winter term now over and our spring semester just around the corner, I am really excited for my second semester of college. The team has been working really hard all year and I am anxious to see how we do the rest of season. Next weekend we are off to Texas where we will be competing against the University of Denver, Texas Woman's, and the Air Force Academy. Be sure to check in for another Tumble Talk next week to see the results!

Thanks for reading!
