Saturday, Mar 1

Archery Guyana is proud to announce that Lucas Chung will represent Guyana at the 2nd Qualifier for the Junior Pan American Games, scheduled to take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from March 19 to 23, 2025. Competing in the highly competitive Recurve U21 Men’s category, Lucas will have the opportunity to showcase his talent on an international stage, vying for a coveted spot at the Junior Pan American Games 2025 in Ascuncion, Paraguay this August. 

This milestone is not only a testament to Lucas’s dedication and skill but also a significant achievement for Guyana’s archery programme. The Junior Pan American Games qualifiers attract the best young archers from across the Americas, offering a platform to compete at an elite level and gain invaluable experience. A strong performance in Buenos Aires could position Lucas among the top young archers in the region, enhancing his prospects for future international championships, including the Pan American Games and, ultimately, Olympic-level competition.

The Board of Directors wishes to acknowledge the unwavering support of President Godfrey Munroe and the Executive Committee of the Guyana Olympic Association to enable his participation in this prestigious event. Their commitment to fostering young sporting talent and ensuring that athletes like Lucas have access to international opportunities is truly commendable. Their efforts continue to lay the foundation for Guyana’s presence on the global sporting stage.

Lucas’s journey to this qualifier has been one of perseverance, rigorous training, and passion for the sport. He will be competing against some of the best young archers in the hemisphere, gaining exposure to high-level competition that will contribute significantly to his growth and the development of archery in Guyana.

President of the Federation, Mrs. Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon: "As Lucas embarks on this exciting challenge, I call on all sports enthusiasts, supporters and the Nation to rally behind him. His dedication and drive embody the spirit of Guyanese sports, and we look forward to seeing him give his best performance on the international stage."
