Hey Terp Fans!
So this week was a pretty exciting week for the Terps. We journeyed across the country all the way to San Jose, Calif. We left College Park bright and early at 5:45 a.m. Thursday. Despite a long, bumpy flight to Las Vegas and almost missing our connecting flight, the Terps remained calm and successfully arrived in San Jose! At the airport we were greeted with welcome signs by some of Ally's family, as well as the beautiful California weather!
The meet was Friday night against San Jose State and Cal. This was the first time the Terps had ever competed in San Jose, and we were pumped and ready to make a statement. Even being several thousand miles away from home, we still had a crowd full of wonderful Terp family and friends supporting us. We put up another solid performance, and were able to come away with a solid road score.
Everyone was extremely excited to be in California. Besides the meet, we also got to spend Saturday in downtown San Francisco and we made a special visit to Alcatraz. We took an audio tour through the jail and really got a good idea of how the prisoners of Alcatraz used to live. Stay tuned for some video clips of the Alcatraz tour in the next episode of Gym Terps TV!
We were all sad to leave the beautiful California weather. But we all know it's back to business and preparing for our next competition this coming weekend at New Hampshire. After the red eye flight home, Saturday night, the Terps spent Sunday resting and catching up on schoolwork before the start of another busy week in the gym.
Thanks for reading!
