Minister of Education and Children, Hon. Tim Crookall, recently presented three ‘Archery GB’ UK records to Lesley Sleight, a Physical Education teacher at Queen Elizabeth II High School.
Lesley, who is a member of the Isle of Man and Bowderyn Vannin Archery Clubs, broke three British records for Women’s American Flatbow. The records were for FITA marked, FITA unmarked and FITA combined. Lesley‘s record breaking success was recorded at the English Field Championships back in October and the UK records were officially ratified last month.
In June, Lesley will be competing in the European Bowhunter Championships to be held in France. Over 1,000 archers will take part in this International Field Archery Association five day competition. We wish Lesley the very best of luck!
