A 12-year-old member of Cote First Nation is the proud owner of a second silver medal he won in the sport of archery.
Randall-Dre Friday of Fishing Lake, who is the son of Randy Friday of Cote and Sheryl Kayseas of Fishing Lake, won the silver medal for archers aged 10 to 12 years during a competition in Yorkton April 16 and 17.
His category had about 40 competitors, said his mother. He has qualified to advance to another archery competition in Willowbrook July 23 and 24.
This medal is the second such medal he received in archery, Kayseas said. He won silver at a similar competition two years ago.
“We’re very proud of him,” she said.
A Grade 6 student at Wadena Elementary School, Randall-Dre is very competitive in many sports, she said. He was a pitcher last year for the Wadena Wildcats Squirts team which won a provincial silver medal.
During the archery competition in Yorkton, Randall-Dre was pleased to have met Cody and Kelsy Robbins, who live in central Saskatchewan where they ranch cattle and create their hunting stories while raising a family. They have a television show called Live2Hunt, which brings “world class big game to television screens.” The couple has won numerous awards, but their greatest accomplishment, so far, is when Cody shot the new potential world record archery mule deer in 2011. The Robbinses live in central Saskatchewan.
