Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
As we get ready to start the ski season again, Biathlon Alberta had their Annual Awards Lunch. We received a few emails letting us know about the event, but it wasn’t until we received an email telling us that Sean would receive an award, that we made plans to attend.
For most of the season last year, Sean raced in the category of Air Rifle 1. In this race category, competitors shoot at larger targets, using air rifles of course. He did quite well in the category. So well, in fact, that he was “invited” (strongly encouraged) to move up to Air Rifle 2, part way through the season. In this category, the competitors shoot at smaller targets. In any case, he still did well enough in Air Rifle 1 to achieve the most points in that category (accumulated over the year). Biathlon Alberta posts points on their website, so we knew that Sean finished on top. We therefore were not surprised when his name was called to receive his trophy.
What we were not expecting, was what happened next. After the camera was put away, and attention drifted away from the MC, we heard the name “Sean McLean” called again. This time, the award was the “Perfect Shot” award. As near as we can tell, this award was presented to the competitor that shot the greatest number of clean rounds. A clean round means you hit all five targets on a single visit to the range. So Sean shooting produced the greatest number of clean rounds in the year for Air Rifles. For this you win this HUMUNGOUS trophy!!
Quite a good year! Congratulations Sean, let’s see if you can do it again this year!!
Congratulations Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
