In the Gold Xcel class, Kaia Ginther finished fourth in vault among 25 athletes in her age category.

Four club members competed in the 11-year-old category in Silver Xcel. Autumn Rolleston won the gold medal on floor and finished seventh on beam, eighth on bars and vault and fourth all around.

Maisie Farden placed fifth on bars, sixth on vault and tied for sixth all around.

Three club members took part in the Bronze Xcel group, including

Hailey Emmons among 15 other eight-year-olds, where she won a silver on floor.
