Lavallee wins indoor and
outdoor national titles
By Scott Taylor
She might be legally blind, but Christie
Lavallee of St. Ambroise, Man., is the
best junior 3-D archer in the nation.
Period.
After spending much of 2014 on the
sidelines with a serious shoulder injury,
Lavallee returned with a bang in 2015.
In fact, during the winter, Lavallee
won both the Provincial and
National Indoor Junior 3D Archery
Championship and then in July 12
she won the Provincial Outdoor title
and in August, she was the National
Championship. Now, both the national
indoor and outdoor champion,
Lavallee will now set her sights on
National Senior Competition – and she
knows it won’t be easy.
My focus will be switching toward
my studies at the University of
Manitoba,” said Lavallee, a proud
Metis woman from St. Ambroise, Man.
“I am now in the Bachelor of Science
Honours in Genetics Programs at the
U of M. One of my goals is to write the
MCAT in July 2017. I’m going to have
to try to balance my studies along with
my archery training as well.
“I would like to compete next year,
but because I turn 21 in March of 2016,
I am now going to have to move up
to the Senior Women’s Division. The
Senior Women’s Division includes
Archers that range in age from 21 to
49. I am considering competing at the
Indoor and Outdoor Provincial and
National 3D Archery Championships
as well as possibly the IBO World 3D
Championships, which will be held
in the Northwest US next season, but

school is a major priority for me.”
Although school will be the priority,
she obviously has no thoughts of giving
up archery. In fact, she has improved
every year in which she’s competed
and believes she will only get better as
she gets more experience.
But there is little question, she’s
come a long, long way.
Lavallee started 3-D Archery in 2009
and then won the Provincial Junior
Compound 3-D Archery championship
in 2013. Later that month, she won the
National Championship in Alberta.
Last spring, she was named Manitoba
Archer of the Year, presented by the
Archers and Bowhunters Association of
Manitoba.
“3-D Archery works like this,” she
explained. “We shoot animal targets
