A bowl of chili and  the warm shop helped ease the cold. $450 was raised for the Stollery Childrens Hospital Foundation.

Here’s the results from the recent Canadian National Junior Championships. Alberta did well.

 

Congratulations to Aanum Grewal for a bronze medal in ladies air and Adheesh Patnaik for a 6th place finish in men’s air. The same two achieved a 6th place finish in the team event.
I also congratulate two Alberta subjuniors ( Eileen Choi and Ashi Saxena)  who participated in the event. That was a courageous thing to do and a great learning experience for them.
The next National Junior Championship will be held in Saskatoon the last part of March 2025.
That will be a team event with 4 persons representing their province. ( 2 rifle, male/female and 2 pistol male/female)
The Alberta rifle team for 2025 will be chosen from those posting the best average over their best 3 recognized matches between now and March of 2025. IE, They can shoot as many matches as they want and use their best 3 for the total.
I encourage all juniors to get started competing at authorized matches.

Alberta Rifle Coach
