It was a clean sweep for Williams Lake cadets Jan. 5 in Prince George at the Zone 2 Pacific Region Cadet Biathlon.

Three members of the 202 Chilcotin Sea Cadets attended.

Julia Rook won first place in the youth female division, Emma Davidson won first place for senior female and Dana Rook won first place in the junior female class.

All three cadets will be going to Mt. Washington this weekend, Feb. 2, to participate in the provincial biathlon competition where they’ll be stacked up against the best in the province.

Coaches said the cadets have been practicing continuously in preparation for the event by skiing at Bull Mountain and target shooting at the Bond Lake Road gun range.

The top placing cadets at provincials will then travel to Valcartier, Que., to compete at the national level.
