Out with a Bang
/While some of it was expected, the 2019 Finals produced some magical moments. Two legendary teammates went out with their 3rd titles, Rutgers crowned their first ever national champions, Spencer & Yianni are now two for two, and a star was born in Mekhi Lewis.
Penn State won their 8th title in 9 years, but with Nolf and Nickal graduating, we head into next season wondering if the Cael rocket ship of glory comes anywhere near orbit.
