Paige Bechthold, 17, part of victorious Team Canada at Africa Genesis Archery World TournamentBOYLE – A Boyle teenager made the most of a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity, returning from an archery tournament in South Africa with a team gold, as well as an individual bronze medal around her neck. “It was a truly incredible experience, and I’m so lucky to have had the chance,” said the soon-to-be 12th Grader. “It was a little intimidating at first, but once you got to meet all these nice people, you had a great support system in Team Canada,” said Bechthold. “Overall, all the kind people I met really boosted my confidence, and coming home with a personal bronze medal as well was great. Getting the chance to go over there really highlighted how lucky we are to be from Canada,” she said.
