The latest inductees to Quesnel’s Sports Hall of Fame were introduced at this week’s (April 12) North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee.
They are athletes that have finished first at the provincial or national level.
Allison Duddy, a member of the 2015 Canadian Wheelchair Curling championship team, was joined by seven other new faces.
They included Canadian Biathlon champion Kyra Teetzen, BC Junior Breakaway Roping champion Dyson Leneve, Provincial Motocross Champion Jackson Nickolet and BC Archery champion Kelly Murray.
Natasha Hanson, Luca Armstrong and Lauren Pastachak were all recognized for their achievements in swimming at the provincial level.
Audrey and Lucy Jespersen and Casey Fisher are already in the Hall of Fame but their achievements for 2015 were also recognized as were those of Emerie, Sydney and Bonnie Watson for archery.
Emerie won two BC and two Canadian titles last year.
