Novice P2 Josee Jalbert’s 10th place beam finish netted her 25th overall and Isabella Pelletier was 36th overall. Lauren Carr was on the podium with first place on vault, second on floor and fifth on uneven bars for a thrilling second place overall.
Caitlyn Tatham, Open P2 competitor, finished 26th after scoring a respectable 13th on vault. Toni Smith finished 15th in the same category with her 10th place on bars.
Novice P3 gymnasts Ally Olson and Sawyer Sturam were 12th and 24rd respectively and Open P3’s Kaitlin Hillard finished in 18th place. Katie Symonds reached the podium in three of her four events with first on floor, and third on vault and beam to finish fourth overall.
