Emily Larkin Advances to Biathlon Nationals!

Posted: February 16, 2014

Dr. Losier Middle School would like to congratulate Emily Larkin, who will be heading to the Biathlon Nationals. After a long tiring biathlon competition, Emily did remarkably well. In the first race of the provincials, she placed third after accidentally taking the wrong turn following the senior’s course instead of the junior’s course. After doing 1.5 km extra, than just the 4.5km trail, she was just an unbelievable 18 seconds behind the second place junior girl! On the second day, Emily won gold with flying colors with a lead in her category of roughly 5 minutes. As a result, she will be competing at Nationals in Martock, Nova Scotia the week of March break. What an outstanding finish in this her first season. Best of luck Emily! Based on interview with Emily Larkin by Madelyn Frost
