Although Carmel had a huge split from Amy Bilquist in the anchor, tonight’s consistent splits from Mission Viejo help them secure the new record.
After the ridiculous dq last night, this was the perfect redemption!
Well, I think its been a long time since the had a 15 to 18 relay record. I mean Mission Viejo which is good for them.
They had to poach Odell from Nova to do it
Is it confirmed poaching? Or she just didn’t feel like NOVA’s training was working for her and went to MVN?
