Guyana gains 2 additional Archery Continental Judges

Sunday, Oct 8

Nicholas Hing and Robert Singh have been officially welcomed into the Continental Judges fraternity by World Archery Americas after having successfully completed the World Archery Americas Continental Judges Seminar hosted in Tobago in early October 2023.

This Seminar is the first ever WAA Judges seminar held in the region. This initiative is part of the WorldArchery Americas’ strategic development plan to train more Continental Judges in more countries. This will result in more regional Continental Judges being available for events at the Central American and Caribbean Games and Pan Am games.

The seminar was held in Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago and was conducted by International Judge Liz Del Carmen Perez Ortiz (Mex) and Continental Judge Kristy Wapniarski (USA), Participants were National Judges, with over 2 years’ experience, from the host country and Guyana.

The seminar included classroom and field sessions and closed with a written exam that required an 85% pass mark. The National Judges were also given international exposure by being part of the judges team, led by International Judge Liz Perez, that officiated at the recently held 5th Caribbean Development Championships.

Nicholas Hing’s and Robert Singh’s achievements bring the number of Guyanese Continental Judges to three (3) as Mohamed Gamal Khan was certified in May 2022 after attending a seminar held in Nova Scotia, Canada.
