Lucas Chung off to memorable start at 2nd Qualifier for Junior Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Thursday, Mar 20

Archery Guyana's own Lucas Chung is making an impressive mark at the 2nd qualifier for the Junior Pan American Games, which is currently taking place in Buenos Aires from March 19-23, 2025.

In a remarkable turn of events, Lucas celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday in Argentina, making the occasion even more special by showcasing his archery skills during the official practice session. With precision and focus, he consistently scored 9's and 10's, with a few 8's here and there, showing his steady performance and determination. At the end of the day, he wound up scoring an impressive 56/60 - an excellent result as he continues to push himself toward greater heights.

Lucas' equipment was thoroughly checked, and he had the opportunity to meet and connect with several other delegations after practice, fostering camaraderie and sharing experiences. The event's atmosphere continues to provide Lucas with valuable exposure to international competition.

As of today, Lucas has maintained a strong standing, currently ranked 7th with a score of 106 after 2 ends, just a few points behind the leader who has a score of 110. His performance is a testament to his dedication and skill as he represents Guyana on the world stage.

This qualifier is a significant opportunity for Lucas as he continues his journey in archery, striving for success on the international stage. We wish him the best of luck in the upcoming rounds and I'm coming days as the competition unfolds.

The Board of Directors of Archery Guyana wishes to express thanks to the President and Executive Committee of the Guyana Olympic Association for the kind support rendered to make this representation possible.
