By Rose Nystrom

Jocelyn Fennell from Prince George has gone through all her competition at the BC Winter Games, and it took her six meets or events to win her silver medal in Kumite female 44 kg.

Fennell was thrilled with her second place finish. “In karate it’s really easy to feel like you’ve failed, but don’t let that get you down. There’s always a positive to learn from.”

She’s been competing in karate for five years.

The karate events are being held at Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong.
