Eighth grader Nehowig placed third on vault, second on beam, first on floor, and first on bars. She had great routines on each piece of equipment, which put her in first place in the all-around competition.

Senior Tessa Miller took four seconds: on floor, on bars, on vault, and in the all-around competition. She also placed fourth on beam.

Sophomore Ashley Karger placed fifth on vault, fifth on floor, fifth on bars, and fourth in the all-around.
