More than 90 teams from clubs across Nova Scotia competed at the two-day event, which wraps up the competition season.

Twisters came into the event after dominating their last outing at Maritime Meltdown in early March when they won their division and claimed the grand champion award for the event’s top scoring routine overall.

Truro’s other three entries all finished on the podium at provincials.

Truro Reign finished second in the Small Senior 1 Division while Truro Chill and Heatwave each nabbed third-place finishes.
