"It was a great evening. I'm not normally a calm person, but I felt pretty calm tonight because the team had a really great warm up and just did their job. Even though we weren't as excited about some scores that we got, the routines were incredible and that's all that matters.

On Individual Performances Around the Gym:
"We had some girls exhibition who just were putting routines together Sarah (Willis) went in the vault lineup and did a great vault even through her hand slipped. We were just working on some details and trying to find one tenth, and they really did it. Ayla came back and went 9.900 on balance beam; Amber's bar routine I thought was amazing, and then we had some beautiful floor routines. All around, I just really thought we had a solid performance tonight."
