“It’s like the best bonding experience with the team and the last thing we will get to do together,” said Bri Horn – another senior member of the team. 

The team looks forward to the competition, but also to the team bonding that takes place every year. “And the food,” Ziemak said with another grin. “Yeah! The food!” Added Horn.
