“Every time I walk out of the tunnel, I still get full body chills every time,” said Tessen after the meet. “It is still such a surreal feeling to me. I only have a couple more times to compete in front of this crowd and do the sport that I love. Before I went out tonight, I thought how it is an amazing opportunity and I am going to go out and do what I know how to do. When I landed, I just knew it was going to be big and it was amazing.”
Utah’s Cammy Hall scored a career-high 9.95 on her vault routine.
