On the floor exercise, Olson, Salo and Ertl had another top three sweep between them.

In the all-around scores, Olson, Salo and Ertl went one-two-three again.

In the process of setting the overall team record, Olson broke a few records with her astounding performance. She now holds the new school record on balance beam with a 9.05, and a new record for all-round total with a 35.275

Brittany Symanietz, her first meet junior varsity meet, placed second in the all-around, just behind teammate Tayler Fertig.
