On her way home from the Island Games in the Isle of Wight, Aalin George competed in the Junior National Outdoor Competition at Lilleshall where she was joined by her younger sister Kirsten. Following Aalin’s outstanding performance at the Games, where she won individual gold in the Ladies Fita and individual silver in the Ladies Head to Head competition setting new Games records in the process, she excelled in her two competitions this weekend. On Saturday shooting the Junior National Fita Star round Aalin finished with a score of 1378 which was a new National Junior record. She also set a new National Junior record at the longest distance of 70m and a new National Junior record for the Long Metric, which is the two longest distances of 70m and 60m combined , the scores being 348 and 345 respectively. The scores she recorded at the Island Games and Lilleshall were the remaining two scores she required to attain Grand Master Bowman status (at senior level) putting Aalin in the top 1% of British archers. On Sunday she went on to compete for the Junior National Compound Championship, shooting a Hereford round - 6 dozen arrows at 80 yds, 4 dozen at 60 yds and 2 dozen at 50 yds . The maximum possible for this round is 1296. Of her 144 arrows, 137 of them were in the gold giving her an overall score of 1280. Once again this was a new National Junior record for the round by 16 points, and 96 points ahead of the 2nd place archer. Sister Kirsten, shooting in a younger age group than Aalin, competed in a Metric 3 round on Saturday with a score of 1345 which placed her in 3rd position. On Sunday she shot a Bristol 3 round with an overall score of 1274 putting her in 2nd position. These results indicate that Kirsten will be one to watch for the future. ENDS
