Message to teammates
To my teammates, thank you for being not only my teammates but a second family to me. I am going to miss every single one of you! I am so glad I got to be a part of the team. The girls that are left, you have so much potential! I can’t wait to see how you guys do next season! I’m thankful for the time we had together even if it was cut short. You girls are amazing and I love each and everyone one of you! So thank you for being like a family to me. To the returning athletes, I encourage you guys to stick with it because it’s truly an amazing experience. Recognize its significance as a special type of family before it’s too late, because you will miss it. I love you girls!
