SEE IT: Maryland Gymnast Kayla DiCello Finishes Third All-Around At GKUS Classic Behind Simone Biles

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WJZ) -- Simone Biles got a lot of attention over the weekend after the 24-year-old successfully landed an Yurchenko double pike — a dangerous and difficult vault move that no female gymnast has ever landed in competition -- at the GKUS Classic.

But Maryland's own Kayla DiCello also made it onto the podium this week, finishing third in the all-around.

The 17-year-old from Boyds, Maryland topped the field on uneven bars with a 14.600. She attends Northwest High School in Germantown and practices at Hill's Gymnastics in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Congratulations Kayla!
