Jason Harnum, of Mount Pearl, took the bronze in sub junior rifle with a 979 / 1200 while St. Catherine�s Richard Power to the bronze sub junior pistol with 926 /1200. Samantha Marsh secured the women�s sub junior rifle bronze with a 622 / 800. Megan Harris 362 in the same event. Both girls are from Mount Pearl. Jason, Richard and Samantha have also qualified for next year�s provincial junior team. Trials to fill the remaining team spots are on going through June of this year. These shooters are a part of the Canada Games Training Group. Coach Gary Piercey commented that "they (the shooters) far exceeded our expectations" considering that most of them only took up the sport in the fall of 2007. -30- Media contact: 2008 02 26 4:30 p.m. |
