Sela Fadness took first overall, Carolyn Hackel was second overall and Abby Bickler was third overall for the Packers.
“We performed well but there are plenty of areas for us to clean up as well as add more difficulty,” Austin head coach Mark Raymond said. “Looking ahead to the X-mas break we now have a better idea of what we will need to work on if we are going to continue to improve.”
Bickler took first on the floor with a 9.375 and Hackel was first on the vault with a 9.175.
