Spirit Zone Too Owner Anne Aguiar-Asta said, “What a storybook ending to a magical season. ... I love each and everyone one of my athletes and coaches, and am so grateful to have been able to share this amazing journey in their lives with them. I hope they take away from this season more than the placements, trophies and the wonderful friendships that they have made, but the ability to know that anything is possibly if you believe.”
