By the Numbers

State of Play
  • The World championships event begins Friday and concludes Monday, with the Jags set to compete on Saturday and Sunday in Orlando.
  • Haase's team will find out the results from their division on Sunday around 11:30 a.m. central time.
What's Next

Haase will return to Carl Junction following the Worlds event and plans to stay home for her true senior year.
