Janszen Cook, Brett Paddison, Narelle Cook and Aimee Duncan were all victorious after five days of competition, which were held in the US town of Yankton, South Dakota.

Janszen Cook, a year 9 student at All Saints College, St Joseph’s Campus, Lochinvar, won the junior boys freestyle unlimited B class by 17 points after shooting a personal best score on the final day.

“The training and hard work that Janzen put in prior to the competition paid off,” the academy’s archery head coach Lynn Fairhall said.

“He never lost sight of his goals.”

East Maitland’s Brett Paddison, the only disabled archer at the competition, claimed the men’s freestyle limited recurve C class.

Paddison competed against able-bodied archers with assistance from girlfriend Annette Stevens to carry equipment across the ranges and his performance was recognised at the presentation.

“Brett was given a standing ovation for his effort,” Fairhall, also the International Field Archery Federation Association director of training and coaching, said.

“The other archers watched with respect as Brett managed to traverse the ranges and compete with the other able bodied archers within his division.”

Narelle Cook was successful in the adult women’s freestyle unlimited B class while Aimee Duncan finished top of the adult women’s freestyle limited compound C class.

Metford’s Peter Fairhall placed third in the adult men’s freestyle unlimited B class.

Archers would take up to seven hours to shoot 28 targets a day with four arrows shot at each target.

Next year’s world titles will be held in Hungary.
