SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. – Members of Medicine Hat’s contingent at the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Bowling Championships will be returning with medals around their necks and memories to last a lifetime.

Seven local bowlers wrapped up a week of competition on Saturday with the last chance to bring home hardware from the national event.

Mitchell MacDonald will be coming back to Medicine Hat with a pair of medals after winning gold in the M8 10-pin all-around event and a silver in the M8 10-pin individual division.

Team Alberta flag-bearer Chuck McDonald came up just short in the 10-pin disciplines, earning fifth and sixth place finishes in the individual and all-around events, respectively.

Five-pin bowling saw five local bowlers go for medals, with Sinjin Soper picking up a bronze medal in the M4 division.
