The Lady Wildcats, who trailed much of the day before staging their comeback, were led by Shelly Avelino who won the 118 pound championship and Briana August and Marychris Peralta, who also made the finals before placing second. Also scoring extremely valuable team points were bronze medalists Kristeen Duculan and Flordelee Madamba. Rounding out the medals for Springstowne were 4th place medalists Jennifer Carino, Jasmine Capiral, 5th place medalists Wy'Le Douglas, Valeecia Frazier, Harneet Sandhu, Ayanna Jones, Alanna Cuevas, Valerie Franco, Tashayla Gilmer and 6th place medalists Thao Truong, Cecily Kaluza, Deja Ramos and Cara McClinton.
