Close behind was Howells, a University of Utah commit, who delivered one of the most consistent and polished all-around performances of the meet. She opened with a powerful Yurchenko 1.5 on vault, then shone on bars with a Maloney to Pak connection and clean execution throughout. On beam, Howells showcased major difficulty with a back handspring–layout–layout series, along with a beautiful front aerial and a creative aerial to 1.5 dismount combination. She closed her competition with a strong floor routine highlighted by dynamic tumbling, including a front through to double pike and a front double full, solidifying her place among the top competitors in the field.

Emma Howells delivers one of the most technically refined Yurchenko 1.5s in the field. A Utah commit, her vault stands out immediately for its perfectly extended body position right off the table, paired with a powerful, well-timed block that sends her high and deep into the air. That combination of shape and power gives her vault a clean, elevated look from start to finish. With strong amplitude and consistent execution, Howells continues to be a reliable and polished presence on vault.
