Wayne DeAbreu and Devin Persaud Permaul are currently representing Guyana at the ongoing XXVI Pan-American and V Parapan American Archery Championships in Santiago, Chile .
The championships, which began Monday, ends November 27.
According to correspondence from Archery Guyana, the tournament is a world ranking event and will serve as the main qualifying competition for the 2023 Pan American and Parapan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
DeAbreu prior to this departure, said, “I am happy to be competing on an international level again as the world has been a mess the last few years. I can’t convey the pride that is felt attending these competitions seeing the Guyana flag on display and knowing it is because you are there representing your country.”
He added, “I have been practicing as often as a job and family allows, really trying to nail down that ‘feel’ that accompanies that perfect shot. I am very excited to do my best, and learn and grow from the experience, I am most grateful to Archery Guyana and the Government of Guyana for making this trip possible.”
