In the Open Team division, her team placed second in the all-around, vault, and bars, fourth on floor, and fifth on beam. Individually, Gill placed fourth on floor, fifth on vault, and ninth in the all-around. Her team's performance was good enough to qualify them for the Master Massilia.

In Mexico, Gill placed tenth in the all-around.
