In front of a packed arena of over 15,000 fans, Simone Biles defended her national title and was crowned the 2015 U.S. Senior National Champion. Biles scored a 124.1 total from both nights. Maggie Nichols earned silver with a 119.15 and Aly Raisman earned bronze with a 118.55.

Biles started on beam where she had a lovely routine despite a small wobble on her Barani to score a big 15.9. Nichols started on bars with a beautiful set including a Maloney to Pak to Van Leeuwen to post a 14.8. Gabby Douglas also started on bars where she displayed her high flying releases, had a big step forward on her double layout, but still scored a 15.1. Bailie Key fought through her beam routine and finished with a double pike to score a 14.55. Raisman began her night on floor with a stunning, crowd pleasing set to post a 15.55, just 0.05 lower than her night one performance. 

Emily Schild started off strong on vault where she earned a 15.0 for her Yurchenko double full and Megan Skaggs also had a strong Yurchenko double full for a 14.9. Kyla Ross landed a bit short on her vault and scored a 14.55.

After the first rotation, Biles kept her lead from night one followed by Nichols, Raisman, Douglas, then Key.

Biles continued to floor where she got redemption from night one and absolutely nailed her routine for a 15.85. Raisman performed a big Amanar on vault and, despite a stiff leg landing, posted a 15.3. Nichols was solid on beam and played it safe with just a double pike dismount for a 14.65. Douglas was a bit shaky on beam and started with a wobble or balance check on her first four skills. She finished strong with a double pike but only scored a 14.2. Key moved to floor where she performed a beautiful, elegant routine with a double layout and an Arabian double tuck to score a 14.7. 

Other highlights from rotation two included Ashton Locklear’s gorgeous bar set with a stalder Shaposh to Pak to Maloney for a 15.45. Brenna Dowell had an impressive floor routine with a piked double front and a tuck double front but only scored a 14.05.

Biles increased her lead to 3.35 with two events to go. Raisman was second, Nichols was third, Douglas was fourth, and Key was fifth.

Biles performed her incredible Amanar, nearly stuck for a 16.3 with a 9.9 execution score. Key had a very solid double twisting Yurchenko for a 15.2. Raisman worked through her bar routine for a 14.1. Nichols went out of bounds on her tuck double double on floor but finished strong for a 14.15. Douglas got back on track with an awesome floor routine opened with a tuck Arabian double front to a stag jump for a 14.8.

Rachel Gowey performed on her first event of the night with a gorgeous bar routine including an in bar stalder Shaposh to an uprise to a giant full to score a 14.7. Madison Kocian followed with an absolutely gorgeous routine including a stalder full to tuck full in stuck to score a 15.6, one tenth higher than night one.

Heading into the final rotation, Biles lead with a 109.15, Raisman was second with a 103.6, Nichols was third with a 103.3, Key was fourth with a 103.05, and Douglas was fifth with a 102.8. 

Biles finished her night on bars with a minor form break but otherwise nearly flawless routine for a 14.95 to secure her win. Nichols finished on vault with a huge Amanar to post a 15.85, half a tenth higher than day one. Raisman ended on beam where she had a strong set including her two foot back handspring to two foot layout series and her Arabian double front dismount to post a 14.95. Key ended her night on bars with a beautiful set including an improved Ricna to Pak for a 15.3, one tenth higher than night one. Douglas finished her competition with a clean and powerful Yurchenko double twist with a hop back for a 15.15.
