2024 Provincial Indoor IFAA Championships at SNAC

Kathleen Millar

Thank you to our competitors and guests who joined us to shoot this championship on Sunday, January 28.  Attendance was a little smaller this year due to the fact that quite a few of our regular competitors were attending the Lancaster Archery Tournament in Pennsylvania.

That didn’t stop 2 of our members from setting unofficial provincial records for this round.

Travis Tyo in 21+ men’s hunter division shot a 300 with 46 5s

Shawn Matheson in 21+ Para Open Recurve shot 266 to break his own record.

Congratulations to Pam Leclair, who also shot a PB on this round.

Club results follow.  For full results, please consult the Archery Ontario website.

2023 Nutrition Challenge Well Done

Kathleen Millar

Our SNAC advanced classes took on the annual March Nutrition Month Challenge to chart healthy eating for 1 week.  99% of our students participated – well done!

Rian Chicoine remains our nutrition champion for another year, with Pam Leclair only 10 points behind him.  Congratulations, Rian and all our participants.

Remember that a balanced diet with good hydration and fewer “hollow calories” can help archery performance as well as overall health.  Combined with good sleeping habits, you can feel better and have more energy.  Take the nutrition challenge on your own – Kathleen Millar can send you a score sheet upon request.
