In the master’s class, Karen Todd of Vancouver won the women’s title, with Andreas Hestler of North Vancouver grabbing the men’s prize.
The intermediate women’s title was claimed by Lindsey Von Bloedau of Vancouver, with Kelly Jones of Abbotsford finishing second. Federau Ricky of Chilliwack won the men’s event.
