CEBU CITY – Competing in different disciplines, siblings Girvin and Gwyneth Garcia sparkled in the penultimate day of the 1st Asean Youth Archery Championships at the Dynamic Herb Sports Complex here.
Reaport shot first and scored a 9, a feat matched by Garcia, whose arrow, however, was just slightly closer to the bulls-eye in finally winning the nerve-wracking encounter 29-29, 26-27, 27-26, 29-27, 9+ to 9 to enter the title match of the tournament organized by World Archery Philippines. There was also a surprise upset in the women’s under-21 recurve Olympic round finale, with OAC’s Charlene Santos dumping fancied teammate and world youth meet veteran Ada Lagrada 7-3 in tournament also supported by Benel Archery and Postal Science Corp.
“This must be my best Olympic round performance I’ve had so far in my career, knowing that I shot my best and Jonathan also shot his best,” said Garcia of his spine-tingling outing with Rapaport in the semifinals of the event also backed by Tangent.
