*Olivia VanHorn took home top honors on the vault with her 9.875.
*McCaleigh Marr (9.850) and Marissa Lassiter (9.750) placed first and second overall on the uneven bars.
*Campbell Marr had a special week, placing first on the balance beam with her career-high score of 9.925 which put her into a tie for second all-time in the event. It also marked the best individual score of any event this season.
