Young archer takes triple crown

Eleven-year-old Cylie Lagao won the Oregon Bowhunters Triple Crown shooting in the freestyle-limited-with-fingers category.

She shot in three state tournaments from February through July; one indoors and two outdoors. Last weekend's tournament in Eagle Point featured 3D targets. The overall combination of scores for the three tournaments determines the triple-crown winners in each class.

Lagao has been shooting since December, training three times a week at Top Point in Redmond. She has a knack for the sport.

"I like ... how it feels when I shoot it," she said.

Lagao is headed to Anthony Lakes this weekend for her next competition.

"I think my chances are really good," she said.

So far, her shooting has all been on targets, but she's interested in taking her skills into the game fields.

"I'm training to hunt, but I'm not really there yet," she said.
