Coach Aimee Kay said the team has about 30 students total, though with spring break, many on a trip to the Dominican Republic and sickness the number that showed up to the meet was down.

Overall, Kay said she has no complaints and there were even some students who have never competed who found out they're capable of more than they thought. She's eager to see how they do as a full strength team.
