Simonton's Thoughts for The Meet
"The team is really excited to be back in our home venue to compete in front of our great fans. We are hoping to fill our BSU student section which we call "The GymNest". Friday night's meet will also be an opportunity to recognize members of the Cardinal Varsity Club (CVC) and our very own 10.0 BSU Gym Fan Club. The team has concentrated on mental preparedness and is focused for a fantastic meet Friday night."
