On the weekend of March 23, the Dalhousie Commerce Society and the Rowe School of Business hosted the Atlantic Throwdown competition featuring five Dalhousie teams competing head to head with five UPEI teams.

This year, Dalhousie’s winning team included first, second and third year students: Paul Dimitruk, Nicole Drozdiak, Kirsten Nuendorff and Andrew Quinlan. Dalhousie narrowly lost the head-to-head overall championship (and the coveted Atlantic Throwdown Ship Trophy) in an incredibly close contest. Faculty Advisor for the Dalhousie team, Dan Shaw, said, "I want to congratulate organizers, volunteers and participants in the Atlantic Throwdown. I can say the future looks bright and the talent level is high. This bodes well for our national competitions next year."

Other Dalhousie teams competing on the weekend were:
Adam Kelly, Eric Liptok, Ben Shiletto, Mike Wilkes
Andrew Leslie, Shelbi Sprung, Alba Stefani, Steve Vincelli
Liam Connor, Ian Heystee, Phil Stanley, John Wilson
Casey Gallagher, Griffin Haan, Samantha Loren, Ryan McArthur
