Mr. Speaker, I rise in this House today
to congratulate twelve-year-old Jake Mitchell from
Englee who won two separate events at the Newfoundland
and Labrador Winter Games this past March in Grand
Falls-Windsor.
Jake is an avid table tennis player and was selected
to be a member of the Western Team. He certainly made
the community of Englee very proud when he participated
in two separate events. First, with a team competition
where he and three of his team members were skilled
enough to bring home the silver medal. Secondly, in the
singles competition when Jake played a number of intense
and close-scoring games, finally taking home the bronze
medal with a score of 14-12.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members to join with me today
in congratulating Jake and to wish him well in his
future competitions.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
