Hemminger hopes to see more steps taken in 2020. 

"We saw a lot of growth last year, and there definitely was improvement," Hemminger said. "… I think we've gotten over that hump. We have a group of girls that are extremely competitive and want to win, and they understand what it takes to do that."
