NCA Nationals has been moved from being held in January at Dallas, TX, to April and the sunny beaches of Daytona Beach, Fl. This years routine had it all. Extreme difficulty, excitement, and it was fun to watch. There is no longer a preliminary competition and SFA has only one shot to bring the championship back home. If anything needs to be changed it has to be done before the competition begins.
Confidence is high and everyone is anxious to get on the competition.
As the routine begins there are 3 mistakes that hit within the first 10 - 15 seconds. Those mistakes proved too much to overcome. There was a total of .2 differential between 1st and 3rd, as SFA garners another 3rd place finish. The the core of the squad returning, SFA replaces 8 people and strenthens the squad as a whole. Determination is high and goals are set early.
