Hibma-Powell placed first on the bars and beam and second on the floor as well as seventh in the vault. That gave her the top all-around score for the meet making her top in her division.

The 10-year-old has been at nine meets this year and brought home seven over all championships and two second place over all medals to bring home 31 gold medals in all.
