Calgary’s Sydney Sawa was second with 55.40 points and Charlotte Mackie, who trains with Rogers at the Omega Gymnastics Club in Coquitlam, was third at 54.90.

“I was bang on with everything,” said Rogers. “All the hard work I’ve been doing in training really paid off. To win like this at the first meet of the season really gives me a confidence boost.”…
