Captains' Corner
March 26, 2004
Throughout the season, co-captains Chrissy Lamun, Christa Piazza and Tanya Ricioli-Hebron will offer their thoughts on the team and the season in an online journal.
As this season continues to speed on, our team continues to grow stronger and become more unified. It doesn't matter if we are competing at home in front of a great crowd or if we are on the road, we are doing what we need to improve and grasp our goals.
Pac-10's fell at the end of a long week...finals week. Although timing may have seemed a little inconvenient, we were able to get the most out of our workouts and travel to Arizona confident and ready to see the sun.
It was well said in one of our pre-competition meetings that we have been competing against all these teams every weekend, now we are all just in the same place; it is just another meet. All we had to do was start fighting as soon as we walked on the floor and continue the fight all the way to the end.
We are a very determined team and much of the reason we have been so successful this year is because we aren't willing to give anything up or let any opportunity slip by. Even if we have some difficulty, we continue to fight for every tenth. That is just what we did at Pac-10's. The energy we invigorating. We could even hear our families and fans cheering us on from the stands. Vault started off strong and we continued to build. We were able to break a 197.0 and place third.
As we now prepare for our regional meet to take place here at Oregon State, we are continuing to set goals and work toward them with unity and excitement. We have achieved some amazing things this season and have no doubt we will continue to amaze!
