It was their second time competing at the event with 11 athletes ranging from the age of seven to 15 in levels 2, 3 and 6. Accompanied by their coaches Alex and Jess Schlosser they were brilliant on show winning 19 medals and three all-round trophies.
They competed against several teams from Barbados and Jamaica in the vault, bars, beam, floor and all-around categories.
The team members were Tali Arnan, Jaleya Joseph, Amelie Hall, Valerie Hadeed, Elodie Hall, Olivia Hadeed, Denae Bontiff, Orah Arnan, Kayli Charles, Holly Warne and Mitzi Gonsalves.
The Academy was established in 2020 and has over 200 students in its recreational programme.
