Archer claims bronze at Sr. World Games

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

It's an old axiom: work hard and you'll be rewarded.

That was true for Carl Claycomb from Mountain Home, who took home a bronze medal in the archery competition at the Huntsman World Senior Games on Oct. 10.

When asked about his experience at the games Claycomb said, "Out of 1800 possible points, and with a score of 1670 in the Compound Release 60-64 age group, it was great to win the bronze medal."

The Huntsman World Senior Games is a world-class, Olympic-format, international sporting event for athletes ages 50 years and older.

Founded 23 years ago, the Games currently hosts more than 9,500 athletes annually.

Each October, for two weeks, the event is held in St. George, Utah. "One of the things that makes this event so unique is that it is more than just a collection of sporting events," says Kyle Case, Huntsman World Senior Games CEO. "The Games is a total experience, so much more than just another sports competition."

The participants enjoy the Parade of Athletes, Opening Ceremonies, Concert and Celebration, Social Events, Banquets and Free Health Screenings.
