After not competing at the varsity level the previous two seasons, Harper made quite the return during her senior year. The Bay Shore product placed third in the all-around at the state championships on Feb. 29 at Cold Spring Harbor with a score of 37.10, and also won the vault (9.775) and placed third in floor exercises (9.475). Harper played a key role in Suffolk's third-place finish in the team standings after taking fourth last year.  She also helped lead Bay Shore/Islip to its second consecutive county title by winning each event. Harper was victorious in every event at the Suffolk individual championships as well.
