Congratulations to SNAC club members who competed on Day 2 in Richmond Hill, ON at the 28th annual OFSSA archery tournament.  Former OFSSA medallist Jeremy Wakefield judged on day 2 and successfully shot out the candle flame in front of +300 archers.  Unfortunately, Michael Bracey was too ill to join us - we missed you!

260 recurve archers competed on Thursday, May 17th - that's a record number!  There were 115 females and 145 males.  We have to say good-bye to two graduates this year:  William Larmour and Alex VandeSande - please keep enjoying the sport of archery.

Results:

North Dundas District High School guys' team finished 5th out of 17 teams with a total of 1922:  Patrick Jaquemet (19th), William Larmour (29th), Matthew Adams (41st), Josh Beach (55th).  Hannah Robinson (35th).  Kelly Robinson escorted Teacher/Supervisor Ms. Ann McNab. Well done!

From Kemptville's St. Michael's Catholic School:  Alex VandeSande (42nd) finished his high school career with an excellent performance (465).  In her first-ever OFSSA archery tournament, Lindsay Fumerton won the bronze medal with a score of 549.  Congratulations!  Thank you to Cheryl Fumerton for driving.

Representing Kingston CVI:  Jordan Sequillion won the silver medal with a score of 556, 2 points out of first.  Congratulations!   Sydney Sequillion shot her best OFSSA so far finishing 17th with 469.

Kate Montgomery representing Earl of March SS, shot her best OFSSA round so far with 490 finishing 14th. Eric Peters representing Colonel By SS, in his first OFSSA won silver with 568.  Moms Danxia Xu and Cassy Montgomery drove.

Coaching and co-ordinating this event and trip is always challenging.  Everyone did well.  Thank you from Kathy Millar, Whole Bunch S S :)

IMPORTANT:

Remember that there are no advanced youth or advanced adult classes this week due to the fact that Kathy is coaching at the high school championships in Toronto.

There are two weeks of classes left:  advanced youth on May 23 & 30; advanced adult on May 24 & 31.

NOTE:  Friday night beginner classes continue as usual on May 18th and 25th.

SNAC's Annual Awards Night and Pot Luck Dinner was held on May 12 - our 20th annual get-together.

Over 85 archers who participated in mailmatches, leagues and tournaments and their families turned out for the event.

On hand to present medals this year were:  North Dundas Mayor, Eric Duncan, 2-time world champion, Christopher Perkins, International judge, Laura Lynne Churchill, and national team members Jordan Sequillion, Molly Solc, Georcy Thiffeault-Picard and Katie Roth.

The food was terrific and so was the atmosphere.  A special award and ceremony honouring Christopher Perkins preceded the awarding of the Most Improved Archer Award.  This year's recipient was Eric Peters.  The award was sponsored again this year by Brytesun Development, who run this website.

Congratulations to everyone!

South Nation Archery extends its condolences to Peter Garrett and his family on the passing of his wife.  The family is travelling to Colombia today.

Congratulations to SNAC member, Christopher Perkins, who was able to shoot his OAA IFAA championship regionals on Sunday, January 22 in Caledon.  For the first time, Christopher shot a perfect 300/60x on the round.

He was in the Toronto area after shooting at The Bow Shop's annual breast cancer fund-raiser tournament in Waterloo. 

With his IFAA championship round in the bank, Christopher's next prep tournament for the indoor world championships and the Vegas Festival will be the Lancaster Archery shoot this weekend in Pennsylvania.

Continued good shooting, Christopher, and good luck!  :)
