Eastern archers were celebrated this weekend along with other members from the AAC league. They were invited to Nelsonville to participate in a fun tournament where they had the opportunity to take aim at a new kind of range. One where dinosaurs and even a lion became targets. After they shot we went to celebrate the top 12 in each category! Elementary Sophia Shaw - finished 9th with an average score of 259.4 Emma Myers - finished 10th with an average score of 259.2 Braelynn Sims - finished 11th with an average score of 257.6 Middle School Allison Putnam - finished 12th with an average score of 274 Joshua Jones - finished 2nd with an average score of 287.4 Clay Buckley - finished 10th with an average score of 278.4 Emmett Jordan - finished 11th with an average score of 277.8 High School Wesley Milhoan - finished 9th with an average score of 279.4 Our middle school also took 3rd place this year! Please help us congratulate these archers on a great season. Also, we want to wish everyone good luck at Nationals this week. Safe travels to all competing and always remember aim small miss small!
