“Another nice performance by our team. Our distance crew really came through with some nice performances: 7 girls earning ribbons and 2 others getting a personal best and a season best. Annie continues to be consistent in the vault and took it up another notch tonight as did Lily. Also a good number of personal bests and/or season bests with the rest of the team.” Patrick Hodge-Princeton
