Nova Scotian gymnasts Ellie Black and Hugh Smith, both of the Halifax ALTA Club, captured the senior all-around titles at the 2013 Canadian Gymnastics Championships, which continued Thursday in Ottawa.
 Ellie Black, 2013 Canadian championBlack overcame a fall on vault to take her first Canadian all-around title, earning the top scores on balance beam (14.100, 6.1 Difficulty) and floor exercise (14.050).
The 17-year-old Black improved her score by more than a point from Tuesday's qualification. She has had a banner spring season so far, winning the all-around bronze at the Tokyo World Cup and three apparatus titles at the Slovenia World Cup, both in April.
"It's just great to come out here and finish off like this after such an amazing year," said Black, a finalist on vault at the 2012 Olympic Games. "Being on the Olympic team and having that experience has brought me so much more confidence and given me more of a leadership role."
Gemini's Natalie Vaculik, younger sister of 2012 Olympian Kristina Vaculik, won the all-around silver over Maegan Chant (World Class).
Top qualifier Kaitlyn Hofland (Futures) finished fifth after falling on beam for 11.600.
Defending silver medalist Victoria Moors (Dynamo) scratched Thursday's finals after placing 10th in qualification.
In the men's competition, the 29-year-old Smith captured his first senior title, 15 years after winning the tyro (youth) all-around.
"I enjoy every moment of competition," said Smith. "I've been working really hard and I just wanted to come in on day one and hit my routines and make some finals."
British Columbia's Robert Watson (Richmond) won the all-around silver over Quebec's René Cournoyer (Gymnika).
(Calgary's Bobby Kriangkum earned the third-best total but was ineligible for awards as he represents Thailand.)
Vancouver's Shallon Olsen won a second straight junior title, topping Aleeza Yu (Gemini) and Brianna Clark (Gymnix).
Another British Columbian, Steven Chaplin of Twisters, won the men's junior title in a two-day contest that ended Friday. Ontario's Justin Karstadt (Futures) was second over Quebec's Matthew Halickman (Pére Sablon).
Competition continues Saturday with apparatus finals.
