• youth women Sprint (15-18) 6.0 km sprint 1st - gold medal

Cheyenne experienced a dose of success in 2023, and decided to commit to Biathlon as her chosen sport. she trained for 3 months in Vernon (Sovereign Lakes) to focus on her training. One of her strengths as a biathlete is her skiing ability, but her one weakness was in shooting accuracy. It is important to lower the heart rate as you come into shoot to obtain that accuracy. Cheyenne has improved immensely in this regard and this has resulted in her successes.

Cheyenne will be attending the World Junior/Youth trials to try to make the Canada Team for the World Championships to be followed by the Canadian Championships in Val Cartier, Quebec.
