The team of Velocity athletes that went to the rescheduled Calforex Cup # 2 in Canmore, AB this past weekend had a great time and brought home 5 medals.
 
Jake Draper took gold for both of his races in the Senior Boys category, Emma Marnik took gold for both of her races in the Developmental 2 Girls category and Aidan Hupé, in the Developmental 2 Boys category, took bronze for his first race and came in 4th for his second race (missing the podium by just a second).
 
Lots of great results for our athletes with some awesome shooting – Bronwyn Goodwin-Williams and Francis Reid both shooting clean (hitting all the targets) in several of their shooting boots.
 
Result for all the athletes in the 2 races:
 
Liam Adel – 8th both races
Francis Reid – 5th and 9th
Jake Draper – 1st in both races
Aidan Adel – 20th and 21st
Bronwyn Goodwyn-Williams – 6th and 7th
Amélie Latour – 16th
Emma Marnik – 1st in both races
Aidan Hupé – 3rd and 4th
 
Weather was cold but the sun came out so the view was spectacular and the people we great giving the Yukon a very warm welcome.
 
The team is now gearing up for the next trip – Whistler, BC!

Hi everyone...we've been a bit reluctant to send this email...afraid we might jinx the weather!

Click HERE for a list of what you will need to bring for the Canmore trip!

Please make sure you are at the airport by NO LATER THAN 6:00 a.m. as we need to load ski bags etc. and fill in rifle/ammo transport forms.

Also, make sure you CONNECT YOUR BAGS to the Air Canada flight. You can do that now (if you haven't already) or when you check in - but please do not forget!

Lastly, make sure you know where your ammo is in your suitcase in case we have to move it all to one suitcase.

Last, last....the forecast for Canmore weather is looking a bit cold...so make sure you pack those extra mitts and warm gear!
