Coach Jason Monson has high expectations for his team in the upcoming season. 

“We have great senior leadership this year, some of our seniors expectations are that you have been here before, you’ve done this before, you know what you need to do to get ready and you are accountable for that,” Monson said.

Furthermore, the athletes that have been on the team before are setting a good example of what it means to be a good teammate whether competing or not.

“We have some girls that are not competing today but they are here, helping and cheering on their teammates. It’s a part of being together as a team and that is an important motto we stress on everyday,” Monson said.

Keep up the hard work girls!
