The team led the way in over 40 categories, winning gold in the team division, the relay division and the Tech2 event, with Labash and Semour leading the way. They also secured a bronze medal in the over 40 Tech2 event with teammates Hauck and Arnold. Additionally, Seymour earning a bronze medal in the individual division for competitors over 45.
