Colin Winter, setting two new state records, Christopher Zumwalt and Gabe Ross of the Nevada County Gold JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) team hit gold at the SAC (State Archers of California) Indoor Championships held in Tulare on Jan. 13-14.

The two-day event was preceded on Jan. 12 by a SAC JOAD championship event where Winter also won a second place and teammate Gemma Goepel won a third in their respective divisions. Four members of the team, Winter, Zumwalt, Goepel and Trelaina Borges competed in a JOAD team event against ten other teams and took a third place.

With the recent sponsorship of the Grass Valley American Legion, Post 130, the team will begin training at the
Grass Valley Veterans Building in preparation for the Indoor National Championships.
