Sunday's practice session was quite exciting. It is obvious from the concentration level that the team is focusing on the rapidly approaching meet-the-team event. Of course, there will be several girls making their debut at "excite night." On Sunday, many of the girls were starting to put together full routines. Andree, Nat, and Dara made it through their first attempts "with ease!" Andree's routine features four release moves.

One of the gymnasts told me that she is expecting a really successful year; one that will be very enjoyable to watch from a spectator's viewpoint since there will be lots of new tricks.
