In the Level 4 12-plus age group, Caroline Kiesling placed second on bars and third on floor, vault, beam and all-around.

Sarah Brindisi scored a 9.2 to place second on vault, placed second on floor and beam and won the bars and all-around titles.

The Level 5 gymnasts all competed in the 12-plus age group. Morgan Taylor came in second on vault and third on floor, while Caitlyn Spellman was second on vault and third on beam, bars and all-around.
