QUOTING COACH JEPSON
"Cody has improved his vault quite a bit and that is an area in which he can really help us as a team. His floor is very good and he is very strong on the rings. His best opportunity to help us will come on vault and floor. He has one of the most difficult vaults on the team and, if he can be consistent, that would help our team a great deal."
