Archery student Ainsley Abitong-Sinobert of Sault Ste. Marie has brought home a bronze medal in U19 female 3D Archery from the North American Indigenous Games.
The games included over 5,000 teen athletes from 756 Indigenous communities across North America. There were 16 sports in the games but archery, lacrosse and canoe/kayak were the only three traditional Indigenous sports in the competition. Abitong-Sinobert, a 15-year-old student of the Sault’s Arrows in Motion archery school, went into the elimination matches ranked fourth. After winning her first match she quickly earned a position in the finals. Although she lost her first match in the finals, she went on to compete in the bronze medal match, winning by five points against an archer from the Haudenosaunee team.“I've been rooting for her all the way.
