Coaches Quotes:
Head coach Tana McKay
On the overall meet thoughts…
"I couldn't be happier with the way they rode today. The first meet back after a break, you never really know. They've done a lot of work in a short amount of time and sweeping the MOPs is always the icing on the cake."
On sweeping the Western disciplines…
"They all just rode so well. I feel like we're right where we left off in the fall. That's always a good feeling that we didn't really skip a beat after having a break."
On preparing for Auburn…
"There is always homework to do. There is always something to learn from every ride. We'll watch the videos and critique everything. With Auburn, you can't leave anything out there. There are a few little things we could've cleaned up from the meet today. We'll do our homework and get back at it."
