| With reigning champ Emma Gallagher passing up the attempt to defend her title, the accolades will pass to the next generation. Ellery Bianco was runner up to Gallagher last year, and enters as the top returner. However, Alyssa Sandy beat out Gallagher at their qualifier, and comes in with the top seed. Tara Hernandez popped a big performance at her State Qualifier, and come away with the upset win with another big performance. Oreoluwa Akinpelu took third last year, and could come away with another big close, as Debbie Boerke and Crystal Green find themselves in similar situations. |
