โUnfortunately, we did let that last rotation slip away,โ said first-year Utah State head coach Kristin White. โWe were on the verge of having a great 196 meet and at the end of the day, weโve got to be mentally tough and put four events together onย Friday night every single time. We just didnโt do that.โย
