This past weekend Team Douvris travelled to London, Ontario, to compete in the WKC Provincials. This is the first qualifying event on the road to the World Championships that will take place in Orlando in November.

Competitors had to place in the top eight positions to qualify for the Nationals in May that will determine who gets to represent Team Canada in Orlando.

The pressure was on, and we are pleased to report that our competitors rose to the occasion, and not just a little. Below are our results. See everyone at Nationals in Ottawa next month!
