Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Tana McKay
On today's meet…
"Overall, there were some really consistent rides. There really were not a lot of major mistakes and those are the things that you are going to have to go back and work on. So as far as things to go back to the drawing board and work on, there were some solid rides. When you're dealing with animals, it can go your way or it could not go your way. We want to walk out of that arena and say, you know what, we had smart rides and we did everything we could and you could only leave it up to the judge. I felt like we had a lot of those rides, so it's not broken, we've got a lot to fix, but we just need to work on some consistency. It was overall good performances."
