Kelly Moran '05 came in fourth with 9.775, and Jillian Day '04 scored 9.45 to give the Bears their first of two sweeps of the podium.
Finst just missed breaking her own school record of 9.925 on the beam with 9.9 on Sunday.

Verge came in second with 9.775, Finst in third and fourth with scores of 9.75 and 9.725, giving Bruno all of the top finishes in the bars.
