Gracie Holland swept all four event titles and the all-around for the Tigers, with teammate Emma Haugen placing second in the all-around, vault, uneven bars and floor exercise.
Holland posted scores over nine in each of the four events, finishing first in the vault, uneven bars and balance beam with scores of 9.25, and with a 9.325 in the floor exercise.
