Schwaiger was crowned the double mini-trampoline senior Canadian champion on Saturday.
“This was my best tumbling final in the last seven years,” said Schwaiger. “It’s the first time since 2015 that I’ve won both the DMT and tumbling titles and I’d like to keep that trend going.”
In the senior women’s tumbling final, Zoe Hipel of Ontario scored 129.200 points to win gold, less than two points ahead of teammate Jordan Sugrim, who captured the silver medal. Devon Haimes of Ontario rounded out the podium with 121.900 points.
“I’m really excited and happy with how I did this weekend,” said Hipel who also captured gold at the Canada Cup competition in April. “I’ve been training and focussing on my passes, including mental training. Training with Jordan was a lot of fun, she’s very motivating, enthusiastic, and is a great support to me.”
In women’s synchronized trampoline, Sophiane Méthot of Quebec continued her winning ways and captured gold along with partner Sarah Milette with 125.900 points. Sara-Jade Berthiaume and Anouk Berthiaume of Quebec finished in second, while Rachel Tam and Rosie MacLennan of Ontario rounded out the podium with the bronze medal.
