Judoka Mason Bruneau from Hay River is on his way to the National Junior Judo Championships in Lethbridge, Alta., which begins on July 2. Bruneau will be competing in the U-17 boys division and has his sights set very high, said his mother, Yvette Bruneau.
"He's been telling me he's going to be number one," she said. "That's all he's been saying."
Bruneau has tasted success in past events, such as the Edmonton International Judo Open, where he won a silver medal. He will be joining other judoka from Yellowknife under the watch of sensei Mario Desforges.
