Katelyn Ohashi of WOGA won the Junior title easily, capturing the UB, BB and FX in the process.  She is not age-eligible for the 2012 Olympics, but her total of 120.95 would have placed her 2nd in the Senior competition.  Junior runnerup Kyla Ross of Gym Max, who is age eligible for the 2012 Olympics, also outpointed the Senior runnerup.  Lexie Priessman of CGA won the VT.
