Saskatchewan pulled in its first two medals of the 2011 Canada Games on Monday, but the athletes who won them are being very hush-hush about the whole thing.
A gold for the women's target shooting team and a silver for the men in their respective air rifle team events put Team Sask. on the medal board, but their coach refused all media requests for athlete interviews until after their final events on Wednesday, citing the importance of mental focus.
Focus undoubtedly played a role in Cassandra Wilson-Anderson setting a Canada Games record with a score of 396 out of 400 and Aerial Arthur setting a personal best of 392. Both shooters hail from Saskatoon.
Meanwhile, Clayton Schlosser's score of 571 out of 600 combined with Mack Kohl's 559 earned the men a silver medal as well.
