Spirits were high and the Bears were able to practice in the competition venue prior to the actual meet. But still, they fell short of their goals and ended in fourth place with a final team score of 388.600.
The blue and gold pulled away from their opponents Army and William and Mary, combining for a total of 399.350, their highest overall score so far this season.
The Bears are hoping that their dedication in practice shines through during the meet, where they’ll face intimidating opponents in Stanford and Illinois, both of whom are ranked in the nation’s top six.
After taking team losses against Stanford and Team USA in their last two meets, the Bears are hoping to snag their first win of the season against Air Force and Army at the Cadet West Gym in Colorado.
