QUOTING COACH JEPSON
"Warren's biggest thing has always been consistency but he has improved in that sense. His routines are still very clean. He has great body lines and does beautiful gymnastics. I think that the work that he put in last year will help him have the base to perform on a consistent basis. I am excited to see Warren compete again because he is so graceful and great to watch."
