Bermuda’s team took home a total of 44 medals, including 27 gold medals, 11 silver medals, and six bronze medals.
“Every student made the final for their heats and this is the end result,” continued Ms. Zuill. “This year was our first time entering a student in tennis and she won a gold medal in her skills competition and a silver in singles.”
