The two gold medals went to the Girls National Youth (ages 15 & 16) and Girls National Select Red (ages 14 and under) teams. The silver medal went to the Girls International Youth (ages 17-19) team.

Of those three years, the past two were led by head coach, Flavia Siqueria. This team also went undefeated throughout the entire tournament, which is a huge accomplishment for our delegation.
