To wrap up outdoor season of this semester, a handful of our team members participated in Predator Archery’s “Arrows in the Vineyard” that was held at the Kirigin Cellars in Gilroy earlier this month. Although it was a non-collegiate tournament, our team had a great time engaging in the sport alongside local members of the archery community. Our archers brought home a total of 5 medals:

Abram Do - Mens Bowhunter 90 Meters - Gold
Junlin Chen - Mens Bowhunter 60 Meters - Silver
James Nguyen - Mens Barebow 90 Meters - Silver
Meg Ross - Womens Barebow 60 Meters - Bronze
Daniel Kokoski - Mens Barebow 90 Meters - Bronze

It’s been a remarkable semester for our team having been involved in numerous competitions throughout the past several months. A special thank you to all those who have been supporting us throughout the whole way. We will start up club activities again in the Fall 2022 semester, so stay tuned until then! Have a great summer Spartans! 🎉

Last month, our team traveled down to UCLA to compete in the 2022 USA Archery Collegiate Target Regionals, West Region tournament.

As our last official collegiate tournament of the semester, our team had a blast and finished strong, taking home a total of 4 medals:

Abram Do - Mens Bowhunter Qualifiers - Gold
Abram Do - Mens Bowhunter Individual Elimination - Silver
Abram Do - Bowhunter Mixed Teams Elimination - Silver
Evelyn Mayberry - Bowhunter Mixed Teams Elimination - Silver

Special shoutout to the UCLA archery team for hosting and organizing the tournament. And another huge shoutout to our coaches Katie and Dave for preparing us during practices and for supporting us throughout the tournament. We couldn’t have done it without them. Go Spartans! 🎯

Recently, Union College's archery team had their gear and equipment stolen during their time at this year's Nationals in Chula Vista through no fault of their own. As a fellow collegiate archery team and member of the archery community, we want to show our support and help them get back on their feet. If you can afford to, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help out or share this with others, anything whether it be big or small can go a long way:
