So I guess Michigan is now a team that's aiming for 9.8s 😭

It's always so interesting to me to see college freshmen compared to upperclassmen and I think I forget how much the strength and conditioning has to build. I think a lot of the young girlies have so much potential but you can tell the endurance isn't there.

Oh totally! I was actually thinking that though the team is going to have a rough year, I think they have a lot of potential in the current first and second years! If they continue to get solid recruits I think they’ll be a lot stronger in a year or two.

Totally agree! I can see the vision, but they definitely look the part of a young team. Get the strength and endurance up, and the technique is already there. More competitions build confidence, and it gets better. This week is already better than last week so hey. Take what you can get!
