Archery Guyana represented at Caribbean Development Championships

The Caribbean Development Championships, also known as the “CDC”, is a fairly new event to the archery calendar. This Championship was designed to promote and grow archery within the developing Caribbean and Latin American regions with expertise from the already developed regions of archery.

This year, it was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic from September 5-9, 2022, with athletes staying in the Santo Domingo’s Olympic Village.
Archery Guyana was represented by its member, Samira Duncan. Duncan participated in the Senior Women Recurve Beginner event, winning a bronze medal. She also was able to team up with Carlos Espinoza, a Dominican Republic archer, to win the Mixed Doubles Recurve Gold Medal. Final results in the Senior Women Recurve Beginner event, which is a category especially created recently, are as follows: 1) Cynthia Gonzalez – total of 525 with 9 (10+X) and 1 bullseye; 2) Yonaigris Matos Cordero – total of 524 with 4 (10+X) and 0 bullseye and 3) Samira Duncan – total of 477 with 8 (10+X) and 3 bullseyes. During her time there, Duncan’s participation was facilitated by Archery Guyana from the 7th-9th at a morning Coaching Training Seminar with Coach Phil Graves. The renowned Coach had previously visited Guyana and conducted Archery Guyana’s Initial Training Course.
As a result of her training, Duncan will be able to join the Archery Guyana Coaches to coach members. The Archery Guyana Board of Directors offered congratulations to Duncan on her performance.
