“The girls division was senior and junior combined, so for our team to tie Vanier for second place behind the home school with only six junior females—five of them in Grade 8 and all of them competing in their first high school tournament—was pretty incredible,” noted coach Maureen Miller. “We are really excited for what’s to come with this incredibly talented group of athletes.”
ADSS junior male competitors also delivered strong results. In the Jr Male 43–47 division, Finley White earned 2nd place, followed by teammate Max Scholey in 4th.
