Anchored by top finishers like Isabella Alexander and Jenna Walzer, the high school team earned the top team score among female competitors.
Coach Orson Wang shared his pride in the team’s accomplishments:
“Our fantastic archers collected 11 podium places — more than any other school — including 6 first-place finishes. The good news doesn't stop there. The middle school male team scored 1st overall and the high school female team scored 1st overall. Even though archery is an individual sport, it is practicing as a team that elevates everyone. The results are due to the collective motivation and determination of everyone on the team. Archers each have their own challenges, difficulties, and problems, and it is incredible to see everyone rise to the occasion.”
The Mustangs Archery Club, a USA Archery program, welcomes archers of all ages and abilities. Their continued success highlights the impact of dedication, teamwork, and pride.
Congratulations to all our archers on a phenomenal showing at States!
