The local club brought home 13 of a possible 15 medals in the five female categories they participated in, highlighted by a top-six sweep in the 12-14 division and a top-five sweep in the 15-17 bracket.
“I think we’ve worked very hard for that,” said head coach Deirdre DeGagné. “We have an exceptionally hard-working group, and the results show. They’re very disciplined.”
Gold medallists included Sarah Korstrom (8-9 female), Ellory Smith (10-11 female), Sadie Baird (12-14 female), Alexa Lagunes (15-17 female) and Hannah Perkins (18-29 female).
Silver medallists were Clea Brummitt, Kaeli Wiens, Arden Mills and Kourtni Eckstein, while Kira Peary, Emma Reitsema, Brittany Van Herk and Emily Whitman collected bronze medals.
