Performing with a twist: Guilderland's Rachel Drislane, Emma's sister, finishes her uneven-bars routine; she finished first overall in all-around with a score of 33.800 and scored third overall with an 8.000 on the uneven bars.

Reaching for the bar: Guilderland's Megan Szesnat leaps from the top bar to the bottom bar with her legs split, finishing second with 8.050 in the uneven bars and second in the all-around with a 33.200.
