Congratulations Ron Pelletier in receiving the Ruedi Setz Award this year for your significant contributions to the sport of Biathlon in Manitoba!  We all appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Manitoba athletes at The Canadian National Biathlon  Championships,  being held in Canmore Alberta,  have now completed two days of races in both the Sprint and Individual categories.  And it’s been an eventful two days!  In the first day of Sprints,  Lucas Smith captured a Gold Medal finish in Senior Boys and Tim Wehner placed Second in his age category,  fourth overall in Masters Men.  As well,  there was stellar marksmanship by Liam Pelletier,  who shot clean in both shooting bouts!   Today,  Tim Wehner captured a Gold Medal finish in Masters Men,  Lucas Smith placed fourth in Senior Boys  and Kaley Dean secured a strong 11th place finish in Senior Girls.  Ian Mitchell,  Bowan LeMay,  Alexisse Berard and Mark Naylor are  rounding off Team Manitoba nicely  giving Manitoba a solid presence.  Tomorrow,  Friday,  they get a day off before the  Pursuit and  Relay races commence on Saturday.  Go Team Toba!
