Hatters find podium at Huntsman World Senior Games
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A pair of Medicine Hat siblings are standing among the best senior athletes in the world at the Huntsman World Senior Games.
Michele David Roll and her brother Dan David wrapped up impressive showings in swimming and archery respectively, and have the medals to prove it.
“It was the weekend of my life,” said brother Dan, who has followed the Huntsman Games for years, but has never taken the step towards actually competing.
Dan, competing in the men’s 60-64 category, finished in second place in 3D freestyle archery, losing to Arizona’s Larry Butterfield by 33 points. Dan was the only Canadian in the 3D archery portion of the games, and says a normal day of shooting would not have come close to a podium finish.
