Give the nos. 1 to 7 for the 7 clues as they appear in the question. Let left to right side represent the better performers.
From clue 3, the order is Xenia, Carol.
From clue 7, the order is Zelda, Alice.
From clue 4, the order is Alice, Yelta.
From clue 5, the order is Yelta, Bob, Xenia.
Hence from clues 4 and 5, the order is Alice, Yelta, Bob, Xenia.
From clues 4 and 5, read with clue 7,. the order is Zelda, Alice, Yelta, Bob, Xenia.
From clues 4,5 and 7, read with clue 3, the order is Zelda, Alice, Yelta, Bob, Xenia, Carol. This order also satisfies clues 1,2 and 6, and so satisfies all the conditions.
Thus the winner is Zelda.

by my calculations - (putting a,b,c,x,y,z in all six places and crossing off letters as the logical clues require) Zelda is the winner. Carol was last, xenia came in 5th, Bob would be 4th, Yetta 3rd, and Alice 2nd.
