Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Head Coach Sulekha Modi Zaug:
I am so proud of our National Qualifiers who fought through not having a team representing them and competing for themselves to achieve All-American status. Rianna's bar routine was just what she needed to continue on with a very bright future in Cortland Gymnastics. Abby and Kam competed so well and just missed the All-American mark. All hit routines and lots of emotions for Kamryn's final competitive debut. It was a great day of gymnastics! The team came to support us and that meant the world to our group. The fire is definitely lit for next season!
