At The D2 Summit 2024, Black Ice took home first place, Snow Queens took home a second-place finish and WEATHER 5 took home third! This season will look a little different for some of the teams we have grown to love from WIDC. Last season, Black Ice competed in the L3 Junior Small division but this season the team is transitioning into L3 Senior Coed!
