Pacific finished in first place in the 2A pom category and in fifth place in the 2A mix category.

Borgia’s Starry Knights competed in two categories in the event, winning both the hip hop and dance events in their division.
Washington’s Jaywalkers finished fourth in the 2A kick category and second in the 3A pom category.
