Donner's Debriefing
"I was very pleased with all of event areas today as we showed tremendous balance and depth. It is always fun competing at home and I was most proud that we had a few athletes really come out of the woodwork today and are now in the conversation to make our 35-person lineup for the league championship. We now have some tough decisions to make and I have always had the philosophy that the tougher the decision making, the better we are as a team."
