Davis, who earned event titles for both routines she performed, tallied a 9.900 on vault and a 9.850 on bars. McClelland notched a 9.875 on beam and a career-best 39.225 in the all-around competition. Ayzhia Hall shared a piece of the beam title with a career-best 9.875 while Emma Simpton competed on beam for the first time in her career to share the title as well.
