Nine finalists returned Saturday to compete in the Teens Got Talent showcase finale at the Lompoc Civic Auditorium that featured seven soloists and one duo performance.
This year, high school freshman Alina Villegas Trejo took home first place with her salsa and samba solo, 17-year-old Landon Gaspar placed second with his lyrical dance solo, and seventh-graders Emily Naranjo-Magaña and Natalie Salas placed third for their fiery flamenco duo.
“We are incredibly proud of these talented teens," said Victor Alejandro Cortes, executive director of the Lompoc Teen Center, event host. "Lompoc Teens’ Got Talent is more than just a stage — it’s a platform for teens to gain confidence, find their voice, and experience the joy of creative expression.”
