Kentucky’s Coach’s Recap
“We talked all along about how we were going to get more and more comfortable, more and more consistent as people came back (from injury), and be able to perform at a higher level,” said head coach Tim Garrison. “Three 197s in a row speaks to that. We’re pretty happy with the fact that we’ve been able to hit that mark three times in a row. But, more than that, I think we’ve been showing consistency across the events. That’s what we need to be able to do.”
Alabama’s Coach’s Recap
“I pulled the team together at one point and said ‘what matters is how we finish strong,'” UA head coach Dana Duckworth said. “We never gave up. We had some mistakes on every event, but we kept pushing and fighting.”
“We had to fight a lot tonight – it didn’t go exactly the way we wanted it to or the way we planned, but it made me think that these ladies’ lives haven’t gone exactly the way they planned either, but they never stopped fighting, so why would we?”
