Bazarbayeva was one of three Wildcat eppeists to place among the top-10, falling to Ohio State's Katarzyna Dabrowa in the gold medal bout. She was joined in the top-five by teammates Kate Cavanaugh (Milwaukee, Wis./Nicolet) and Kendrick Mooney (Arcadia, Calif./Arcadia) who finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Dayana Sarkisova (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central) was the fourth Wildcat to post a top-10 finish on the day, placing sixth in the women's foil.
