Two local archers have won gold and silver medals at the B.C Winter Games in Quesnel.

Austin Marasco placed first and broke a record in the Men’s U18 compound archery competition, and Mikaela Garlock finished in second place in the Women’s U18 compound.

Athletes competed indoors and were tasked with shooting three-face bullseye targets from a distance of 18 meters. They each shot four rounds and then the top four scores went on to the semi-finals.
