"Amanda had an awesome senior night," Conkling said. "She won both events she competed in against a hard team in those events.

"Going into conference were giving the girls the next two days off to rest," Conkling said. "Come Sunday we will be ready to jump back into things, and get some of the girls who were out back into the routine of practice."
