Rachel Marsh was 21st in the girls 13-14s carrying her training problems with her into the competition.

In the boys 13-14s Josh Watters took an improved sixth place.

Milly Cole and Rebecca Dormer were 20th and 10th respectively, despite Milly having lead the field in first place after the first routines in the 15-16s.
