The decay of low- and high-spin isomers of {sup 102}Y to levels in highly deformed {sup 102}Zr was studied from mass-separated activity produced by thermal neutron fission of {sup 235}U. Based on {gamma} singles and coincidence measurements, decay schemes for both isomers are deduced. Of special interest are states observed at 894 and 1211 keV that are postulated to be 0{sub 2}{sup +} and 2{sub 2}{sup +}, respectively. Possible interpretations of these newly observed levels in terms of {beta}, {gamma}, or spherical bands are given.
