Burnaby’s Claire Weng, a 16-year-old with the 759 Air Cadet Squadron, picked up a bronze medal in the relay race at the Cadet National Biathlon championships in Valcartier, Que.
Weng secured third place with teammate Soheili Arman. It was her second trip to the national championships, which incorporates skiing and shooting drills.
“I always stay motivated by encouraging myself,” said Weng. “For example, when I’m at the middle of the race I tell myself I’m halfway done.”
