Hi again!!!!!! In a recap of last week's training, we continued working on our awesome, high energy routines! Our routines are now completely finished and we are striving to excede the expectations of people in the international world and in addition, each day, we try to excede what we, as athletes, think is our limits. As far as figures go, we had a little mock figure meet a few days ago. Since trials, the coaches and athletes felt like we have all improved immensely at figures in the figure meet. And we all have continued to make fast progress since the figure meet. So all in all, our figures are improving at a very fast pace!
We got presents on Wednesday too! We all now have our USA attire(bags, polos, sweats, shorts, caps, goggles, noseclips, towels, and suits). We are so excited and grateful for everything we recieved! We have also had some visitors so far. Margo's mom came and was very kind driving us places! This weekend, Morgan and I(Aly), are spending some time with our grandparents! Yay!
U.S. Opens is coming up in two and a half weeks and we are all so excited to debut our powerful routines and breathtaking figures;)
''Now... as a team... we swim forward. Inch by inch, stroke by stroke... WE CLIMB!''

Hello from the Junior National Team! So far we have finished our first week of training and things are looking up. We are all looking forward to our training together and building as a team. We wanted to share with you some of the goals we have. As we all know, we are representing our wonderful country, the U.S.A! In doing this we will come to Junior Worlds prepared mentally, physically, and every other way possible. We will also be proud of what we are coming with... This includes awesome, exciting, clean, original routines and improved, higher, slower, more extended figures. All in all, we have come into this training knowing we have a shot to blow people away and impress people and be proud of what we are bringing to the international synchronized swimming table. Well my friends, we are taking this shot and giving it all we have! This will be a team effort including, the athletes, coaches, manager, our families, U.S.A. synchro judges and officials, and of course all of our support from everyone in USA Synchro! Thank you all for checking in with us and we will update you on our journey this summer!
Let's do this team and fight for it!
GO USA!!!!!!!!
