Entered in the Level 9, 12/13 division, the Richmond Hill woman, who competes with the Markham-based Tristar Gymnastics, started off on a strong note by finishing first on the vault with a score of 14.150. In doing so, she earned the most powerful vault award.

In other individual events, Salvaggio earned a fourth on floor after being the only athlete in her age category to perform a double somersault. That effort also enabled her to earn the most variety in tumbling award.

Salvaggio was fifth on beam and 14th on the bars, after incurring a fall in her routine.
