The USD 504 archers traveled to Pittsburg for our second tournament of the year on Saturday. Once again, our archers showed up and did a great job representing our school. This was an extremely competitive meet us. Throughout the day our middle school shooters battled Lamar. The tournament had 7 flights. At the start of the 6th flight Oswego was ahead of Lamar by 4 points. At the end of the 7th and final flight Oswego would trail Lamar by 9. Was extremely fun watching this play out throughout the day. Top three teams secured trophies. Oswego brought home three. One for the 3D, one for the elementary bullseye team and one for the middle school bullseye team. Medals were awarded for the top 3 shooters in each division. Those shooters for Oswego the won medals were: Axel Santana 1st place middle school boy 3D, Matthias Shaw 1st place middle school boys bullseye and Odalys Santana 1st place elementary girls bullseye. The following students shot their best score ever: 3D shooters Axel Santana, Michael Varner, Matthias Shaw, Brooklyn Hazell and Amelia Owens. Bullseye shooters: Odalys Santana, Gabe Spencer, Emma Barnett, McKenna White, Ellias Smith, Orrin Fuller, Oakley Gatton, Xitlally Santana, Samuel Byrd, Stephen House, Jackson Gilley, Maleah Moore, Vanslee Nading, Allison Becker, Adelynn Queen and Kenzie Rion. Congratulations to all of our shooters for a job well done on Saturday. Would like to also thank all of our coaches. They all dedicate many hours to ensure the development of our shooters. Without them we would not do as well as we do. A big thank you also goes out to all the parents for making sure our shooters get to the tournaments. Many of them leave meets and go straight to basketball or leave basketball and go straight to archery. Can’t thank them enough for doing what the do. Without the parents willingness to do this we would not have an archery team. Was a great day for Indian archers.
