Coach Briscoe said "It wasn't just the veterans and the superstars it was the depth of the "bench", people like Brianna Reimers who competed vault bars and floor ,Samantha Kurtz on floor and her sister Julianna Kurtz on beam."
They also had Tierney McDermott and Julia Stieger on floor, and Amanda Martino competing beam and willing to compete vault when they needed her, and that's just the short list. Their roster changed for every competition. Coach Briscoe added "It was our ability to interchange athletes on different events that led to our wins. This is an amazing group of talented young athletes and they worked together , worked hard, and the stars aligned and they had an amazing season they will always remember."
