Team scores are based on both Senior and Junior Division scores combined. Central Ontario won the Women's competition (Maddie Baker, Karen Foell, Brittany Emery and Kendal Lehari) with a mixed Nova Scotia/Western Ontario team second and a mixed Alberta South/Central Ontario/Western Ontario team third (including Courtney Cotter). A mixed Central Ontario/Western Ontario team won the Men's competition (including Ian Hutcheson), with a mixed Central Ontario/BC Islands team second (including Zackary and James McCue).
Tetrathlon is a very demanding competition with four parts: swimming, shooting with air pistols, cross-country running and horse jumping (both stadium jumping and cross-country jumping).
