"This year's team had some unusual adversity to overcome, which they did gracefully! I am so thankful to our 5 sophomores; Karissa Lintgen, Allison Fritz, McKenna Gross, Makayla Balder and Kailee Barnett, for leading the Cyclones through the moments of craziness.  They worked to create a team environment that was positive, welcoming, hardworking and supportive.  They also made sure we had fun! They will be missed dearly!" – Coach Heidi Smith
