Isabella McGee competing in the Child B division strutted her stuff on the floor to capture the gold medal and fourth place on balance beam and she finished with the bronze medal in the all around competition.
Margaret Huckabee competing in the Child D division turned in a stellar performance bringing home the bronze medal on uneven bars, the gold medal on vault and floor and the silver on beam and in the all around competition.
