About Doris Jones

Born 1988. Doris Jones is a Canadian archer.

Doris Mary Jones (born 15 November 1988) was the junior world compound bow archery champion in 2006. She is a Métis from Selkirk, Canada. Jones has been an archer since the age of four, competing all over the world, and is active with the Manitoba Metis Federation.

Early life As a teenager, she was involved in an automobile accident in Mexico days before the junior world championships. Although the thumb on her shooting hand broke during the accident and had to be held in a metal brace, she took it off for competition. Jones won the competition despite her injury, and had refused painkillers to avoid any positive drug tests.

Achievements and awards Jones won three world championships and set many Canadian and world records.

At the 2003 Canada Winter Games, she received gold. The games were held in Bathurst-Campbellton, New Brunswick. In 2004, she received the "Junior Female Athlete of the Year" award from the Canadian Archery Association (Archery Canada Tir à l'Arc). In 2006, she won the Tom Longboat Award as Canada's top Aboriginal female athlete.

In 2010, she won two Archery Silver Medals for Canada in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. She won in the semi-finals, 7–3, against Cassie McCall (AUS). The cost of travel and no support or sponsorships made it difficult to continue in competitions.
