The term 'friendly competition,' we definitely put good use to it. Best-friendly competition. Put best friends first, of course, and then it's competition second.

We came back in the fall, bought bikes and started riding.

I knew that last lap that Jess Sapp would cross the finish line first, but I was so close, and it was my goal to beat her. I'm so glad how it ended up anyway.

I knew I was with the best riders here at Indiana University, and I felt so privileged to be in that position on that lap.

I won't feel the exact same feeling as she's feeling (if Alpha Phi wins), but I'll definitely party with her as if I won.

We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.
