Cagayan de Oro’s very own Lester Ian Datiles is making waves at the World Archery Youth Championships in Winnipeg, Canada! Fresh from winning gold at the Philippine Archery Cup and the Age Group Development Program Leg 2, Datiles has advanced to the Round of 24 after defeating Germany’s Phil Luettmerding. Competing in the Under-21 division, he’s now set to face India’s top-seeded archer Kumawat Mahesh on Friday, August 22. This prestigious biennial tournament brings together the world’s best young archers, and Datiles is proudly putting CDO and the Philippines on the map.
