Head coach Tana McKay told 12thMan.com the team rode and were spot on during the last meet.
“We take it one meet at a time,” McKay told 12thMan.com, as the team prepares for Georgia. “We’ve got the meet paperwork, and we’ve got the information, so we’ll be able to settle down and not rush [things] but take care of some details. There’s always stuff to learn and fix.”
