He added while the girls were nervous, they enjoyed the experience and would love to try out again next year.

“The highlight for the girls was meeting new people and the sportsmanship that everyone showed. Also winning gold, of course.”

Pettigrew added there’s improvement to be made before the nationals.

They’ll head to Regina as nationals get underway in May.
