Kentucky National Archery In The Schools Tournament Results
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Kayla Dowell of Stuart Pepper Middle School in Meade County and Justin Mehs of Anderson County High School were the top overall archers at Kentucky’s National Archery in the Schools (NASP) state tournament for elementary, middle school and high school students held March 29 in Louisville.
“It feels great to win,” said Dowell, who claimed her first state championship as the high overall female archer. “I just wanted to shoot a 295 (out of a possible 300 points). That’s been my average lately.”
Dowell finished with a score of 293, hitting the bull’s eye 24 times out of 30 shots.
Mehs, the high overall male archer, shot 27 arrows in the 10-ring bull’s eye, and three arrows in the 9-ring, for a total of 297 points. “Archery is fun and a great stress reliever,” said Mehs. “My favorite part is the follow-through. If the release feels good, you know the arrow is going to be right on target.”
More than 2,500 students from 148 schools in Kentucky competed in the tournament. After practice rounds, each competitor shot 15 arrows from 10 meters and 15 arrows from 15 meters. Competitors shot additional rounds to break any ties.
The top finishers in the team and individual standings qualify for the 2011 NASP Nationals, to be held in Louisville May 13-14.
A complete list of all archers and their scores are posted at NASP, the online tournament website.
