In their first opportunity to bring home medals Apr. 25, the girls and their team were victorious in the competition.

Both Morinville athletes are also part of Thunder, an international open co-ed level 5 team. They will compete with Thunder on Apr. 29.

The team is made up of members from Morinville, St. Albert, Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Calgary. Practices with individual team members take place in Edmonton and Calgary, alternating between cities a couple of times a month.
