Brenda Clark Quotations

We're fairly well-balanced and we'll hold our own against most teams,

One point, it's hard to believe. I'm still happy with the way we performed. We had a lot of girls place in the top three.

Most of our sprint people are freshmen and sophomores. They're coming along quickly.

We wouldn't want supplies to be left outside and get damaged or destroyed, ... We encourage people to drop their donations off during business hours so we can make sure they are safe.
