Team MLTC takes top spot at FN Summer Games
After a week of competition at the First Nations Summer Games, athletes from Team Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) came out on top with 958 points which garnered 20 gold, 19 silver, and 20 bronze medals.
Eric Gladue, the recreation director at Flying Dust First Nation, was one of several chaperones who accompanied the 31 athletes from the band and said it was a memorable experience for everyone involved.
“They had individual awards as well and we ended up getting the athletic award, which was the top point getter in track and field,” Gladue said.
He said the majority of the athletes who came from Flying Dust won a medal. The track and field events included discus, high jump, long jump and more.
