It’ll be the nation hosting the 2008 Youth World Archery Championship, where sisters Danielle and Jessica Gibbs hope to compete in October.

Jessica, 17, earned one of the 24 spots on the USAA Youth World Archery Championship Team at the national trials held in Colorado earlier this month.

Danielle, 16, is an alternate. Both are students at Carman-Ainsworth High School.

“They’ve got a lot of grit and really buckle down when the time for competition comes. But their real secret is they basically don’t like to lose,” joked their coach, Rich Andrews.

The team leaves for Turkey on Oct. 3.
