"This decision was the toughest choice I have ever made. My family and I prayed about it a lot, and I just felt like I had some unfinished business in the elite world. I am very thankful that I have this opportunity ahead of me. I am incredibly blessed to have the support of my OU coaches and teammates." ~Brenna Dowell (deferring her sophomore year in hopes of making the Worlds team)
disappointing to see brenna struggle so much during her bar routine...

"It never really bothered her. She wished she could have shown what she did but she was treated as a part of the team and she got to enjoy all of that." ~Al Fong (on Brenna Dowell and the 2013 World Championships)

"This is definitely my biggest international all-around accomplishment. It is such an honor just being there and competing. I think I showed that I could go out and hit my routines in a high pressure situation. I think I showed they could count on me." ~Brenna Dowell (on placing 2nd at the American Cup)
"I am happy with the turnout. It's hard always to get ready early in the season for this competition. In training we had our ups and downs and I was very happy that the girls were able to focus and show the results of the everyday hard work." ~Martha Karolyi (on Elizabeth Price and Brenna Dowell)
"I'm going to defer this year and try for the 2014 World's team." ~Brenna Dowell
"It is so exciting, and I have always looked up to the girls competing in the AT&T American Cup. It's an honor to be here, and it's even cooler to win the silver medal." ~Brenna Dowell
