Brower took first place on bars with a personal best score of 9.1, executing a brand new routine that she competed for the first time. “It is a very tough routine and it's a little risky, but she competed it with a lot of calm and confidence,” said Head Coach Jen Harmoning.

Haus also had a solid routine on beam taking second place, while Montanna Edling took third with a stuck routine including a new, more difficult dismount.
“Our beam routines look better and better each week,” said the coach. “The girls have everything they need in the routines, they just need to all find that inner confidence and we will be a very strong team on this event.”
