Lorrand went through the entire round robin event UNDEFEATED with a total of 15 points earning himself a bye to one of the semi-final games which he won to proceed to the gold medal game against Logan Saunderson of BC. Unfortunately, Lo could not secure a full winning sweep as he lost in the final with a score of 18-16 to secure the SILVER medal.
A wonderful finish to an exceptional week for these two young athletes to secure at home in front of family and friends the well deserved GOLD and SILVER MEDALS.
