Emma Shelley and Sydney Roberts both tied for second place individually and Susana Olivares finished fifth. All three earned All Tournament Team for their respective top-five finishes. Madison O'Dell added a 27th-place finish to round out the counting scores for the Bronchos. Emily Miller was Central's fifth and finished 43rd.
