ASAA Indoor
Championship Story
....AZ College Archery Program made it “their
tournament”
55 archers took part in the State Indoor Championship
with over half of the archers in the Collegiate
Division.
(14 Dine Warriors, 8 ASU Sun Devils and 8 ERAU Golden
Eagles)
It
is the second time in a row that the ASAA Indoor
Championship was hosted by ERAU in the same spacious
venue.
Collegiate highlights included:
-
Dine College Elison Allen’s Robin Hood in the
X ring.
-
ERAU domination of the compound males with
lead by champion Steven Weaver.
-
ASU finishing 1-2-3 the recurve male division
with champion Ted Harden
-
ASU also took the top compound and recurve women
championships with Ashley Votruba and Maggie Huff
winning their divisions.
-
The U of A Bowcats reported that they just weren’t
ready to compete. We hope to see them soon.
The Look:
The
Warriors were all dressed in their matching team
shirts and set the standard for what a well dressed
team should look like.
Embry Riddles Golden Eagles stepped to the line in
their embroidered polo shirts that were impressive.
Not
to be out done, the day two Sun Devil Archers wore
their Maroon and Gold Team Jerseys.
12
JOADs took part including California Cadet Recurve
JOAD Yashio Kaku who bested the Arizona Cadets.
There were several close matches including Junior
Recurve, Cadet Compound.
Seniors and Master also competed with some lively
competition in a few select categories.
The
overall top archers were:
-
Male Compound: Walt Smith, 50+
-
Female Compound: Robyn Repp, Jr
-
Male Recurve: Tony Don, Jr
-
Female Recurve: Maggie Huff, Collegiate
Congratulations!
A
real highlight was the Sigma Chi Fraternity
hotdog and hamburger BBQ.
-
They served hot chocolate in the morning and BBQ,
beverages and snacks for lunch and mid afternoon
snack.
-
Their goal was to raise money for their on-campus
program which will raise money for cancer research.
Out of the ordinary:
-
There was a rash of community wide power outages
during the Saturday PM line.
-
The Eagle Gym’s natural lighting from wall panels
and skylights provided more than enough lighting to
the point where it was difficult to notice the
difference between the lights being on vs. off.
Thank you all (Volunteers and Archers) for a great
job!
