"Today was an awesome day. I felt so fortunate to be out there competing with my team again and hosting the first NCAA competition since being taken off the hill midway through last year's championship. I am certain our team will score better in the days and months come, but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point."
