Ms Nerpio teamed with Gillian Bruce, Corissa Boychuk and Julie Warnock to lift Canada to first place.
There was more good news for the gymnast after Ms Nerpio finished fourth in the individual competition.
Gillian Bruce of Calgary, who helped the team to gold, added an individual bronze in the double mini trampoline event on the same day.
