Yukon Archery

A great trip to BC Provincials over the Easter weekend with our competitive team. We are truly grateful for BC Archery welcoming us at their event, in a guest category. We have been participating in this event since 2018 and it is usually the first 'big' event our athletes compete at. This year 9 archers made the trip and each earned medals in the guest category. It is notable to mention that a few had personal bests and a few would have medaled if they were included within the BC category. Well done archers! Next big competition will be Outdoor Nationals and we will start to train for that once the snow disappears at our outdoor range.

A special thank you to everyone involved in making the Arctic Winter Games such a positive and well-run event for the archers. HUGE THANKS to Alan Hansen, the Sport Chair, whose planning and attention to all the little details helped the full week run efficiently. Alan, we appreciate the many, many, many hours you dedicated to the planning process. Many hands went into making archery at AWG a success - volunteers included the venue team, the results team, volunteers at the door assisting spectators, our announcer, team mission staff, YASC - Sport Governing Body. Thank you also to the volunteer officials, who travelled near and far. Without you, we can't shoot! The archers appreciated each of you for your calm and supportive approach to your role as officials. This culture of support ran true throughout the event with archers and coaches across contingents encouraging one another. Coaches and archers agreed it was an excellently run event that was nothing less than professional. We also need to thank the archers, parents and caregivers who helped do the final clean-up of the facility before the games event started - so many thanks!
