Archery Updates: Western Nationals

Source: Our Lady of Sorrows Priory

Dear Archery Parents and Friends,

Your archery traveling team did you proud in Western Nationals. What a trip! We are so grateful for the blessings bestowed upon us in Utah. 

Our archers competed again at a High School Bullseye level and finished 21st out of 42 teams. (Impressive considering a majority of those teams were High Schools and we were competing at an elite National level!) Our 4th and 5th graders also competed at the Elementary 3D level and finished 2nd out of 32 teams. 

Beyond the team level, 6 of our bullseye archers and 4 of our 3D archers qualified individually for the NASP Championships in Myrtle Beach June 5th and 6th. 

We had hoped to have an archery banquet [...] Saturday, May 3rd, but it has to be postponed due to the Cavaliers game. The silver lining is that it gives us time for Tom Rowan, NASP’s Head Arizona Coordinator, to bring our Elementary Team’s trophy back from Utah in order for us to display and share it!

Details to follow about the rescheduled archery banquet, future practices & more!

*Update from May 2, 2025:
