3 Bronze Medals At The National Games

In 2007, Cory set himself a goal of qualifying for the 2012 National Winter Games, getting on the podium, and hopefully qualifying for the 2013 World Winter Games in Korea.

He qualified for the National Games by winning his 3 races at the Provincial Games in 2011, and then placed 3rd in his 3 races at the National Games at Marmot Basin Ski Area in Jasper, Alberta. But it wasn't quite enough, as only the 1st and 2nd place finishers qualified for Korea.





He is now waiting to hear whether he has qualified for the 2013 BC Provincial Summer Games in either Basketball, Softball, or Bowling (he is hoping for Basketball). In the meantime, he is planning to keep racing next winter though he will reduce the frequency and intensity of his training as it will be 2015 before his next important race.
