Athletics won over the Canadian Junior National Team. Half the score in Junior International competition is the score for figures. In a dramatic competition, the US team trailed Canada by 0.6 points after figures, but swam a strong, difficult team routine to outscore Canada by 1.2 points, overcome the scoring deficit in figures, and finish with the gold medal. MAC’s Wiita finished with the fourth highest figure score among the American Juniors, and seventh overall, helping her team to its gold medal finish. Wiita, age 16, was the highest scoring 16-year-old in figures, followed by a Canadian 16-year-old swimmer who finished 15th overall. A junior at Catlin Gabel School, Wiita and her Junior National Teammates now begin training for upcoming International competitions in 2014. Wiita and several other teammates are currently members of both the Junior and Senior National Teams. USA Synchro is currently evaluating competition priorities for Wiita and these teammates between the next major Junior competition, the Junior World Championships in October 2014 in Tampere, Finland, and the World Cup for Senior National Teams in September 2014.
