Mel:
I’ve now been throwing for 6.5 years, competing in various leagues and club events, both indoors and outdoors, and while I have yet to win a league night, I know with practice comes progress and I’ll get a win one of these days!
In August 2024, I competed in Thirsk, UK, finishing 8th and improving my GAC ranking from 21st.
In October 2024, I tied for the most bullseyes at the Maritime Open in New Germany, NS. I participated in International Women’s Day tournaments in March 2025 and 2026 at the Dartmouth Timber Lounge, enjoying the camaraderie of strong, like-minded women.
Summer 2025 was tough due to sciatica, causing me to miss the summer league. After physio and acupuncture, I resumed practice. At the Canadian Championships in August 2025 in Barrington, I faced lower scores and throwing issues, which continued at the second Maritime Open I attended. However, I enjoyed the events and extra practice.
I partially regained my groove, setting a new personal best in-league with 123/150 and 13 bullseyes in October 2025, earning the Hootie award. Fingerless gloves improved my grip and consistency, while I continued to evaluate my throwing form. I won second place in the female division of our last fundraiser competition in April of this year, boosting my confidence.
With ample practice between events, we’re in the early days of summer league, and it’s crunch time! Less than two months from the Worlds in Sweden, my goal is to do my best and possibly improve my GAC ranking. I’m excited for the experience!
Thanks for your support. Truly appreciate it.
Give it up for Northshore Mel!! 🪓🎯❤️
