The Oswego archery teams traveled to Carl Junction, Missouri for our second tournament of the year. Some of the top teams in Missouri and Oklahoma compete in this tournament. Locust Grove has the number one ranked team in the United States in both the High School and Middle School division. The Locust Grove Elementary team is ranked in the top 30 in the United States. I was extremely proud of our kids for how they performed. Top three teams in each division for bullseye and 3D won trophies. Top 10 individual bullseye and top 5 individual 3D shooters won medals. We were fortunate enough to bring home 9 medals and two trophies. The elementary bullseye and 3D teams placed second in both divisions to secure both of our trophies on the day. We were around 40 points behind Carl Junction and around 300 points behind Locust Grove going into the last few rounds. We had three boys left to shoot. Oakley Gatton, Stephan House and Owen Foster killed it on the range with their scores. They were able to propel us above Carl Junction and into second place. Locust Grove still had a 100 point lead on us for first place. Both our high school kids and middle school teams performed admirably on Saturday. We had some high scores. We just could not overcome the level of competition on this day. I know our kids will continue to work hard and our scores will be good enough by the end of the year. Individually, we brought home 9 medals. Those students securing medals were: Michael Varner bullseye, Teagan Davis bullseye, Oakley Gatton 3D and bullseye, Ryder Collins bullseye, Bryson Royer bullseye, Kenzie Rion bullseye, Madison Spencer bullseye, Jackson Gilley 3D. We had a few that missed a medal by one or two places.
Career best score on the day belong to: Oakley Gatton 3D and bullseye, Jackson Gilley 3D, Bryson Royer 3D, Makayla Ekhoff 3D, Teazly Higgins 3D and bullseye, River Rauniker 3D and bullseye, Hawke Fuller 3D and bullseye, Ember Waggoner 3D and bullseye, Owen Foster 3D, Ella Shouse 3D, Teagan Davis bullseye, Ryder Collins bullseye, Maleah Moore bullseye, Emily Wible bullseye, Stephen House bullseye, Kenzie Rion bullseye, Gunner Fountain bullseye, Cadence Campbell bullseye, Madison Spencer bullseye, Addison Long bullseye, Persephone Fuller bullseye, Holden Hoppes, Kamree Shouse, Izzabella Bradley, Zoey Dodge, Alia Heape and Malayah Queen.
I am extremely proud of our kids on how they performed on Saturday. I know they all represented our school in a great way. They were great ambassadors for our school and town. Without bragging too much, I know we have made a name for ourselves at these tournaments. Our kids have put our name on the map in this area as far as archery goes. I believe they know we have some really good shooters and they will need to perform at a high level to beat us. It isn’t all about who is winning though. We have many success stories each tournament we attend that don’t involve someone winning a trophy or medal. From first time shooters successfully finishing a tournament to veterans that shoot their career best. We have shooters that were ready to quit because they weren’t performing well. Now we are watching those same shooters bring home medals. Those are all examples of success happening without winning a medal or trophy. It is just awesome for me to watch. A great big thank you goes out to all the parents that make this happen. Some travel to the tournament after and before basketball games. I know they are running all over the country to make this happen. For that I appreciate it. I know some of them don’t like me getting them up so early to shoot in the morning rounds. I will work on that but can’t make any promises. We also have some committed and loyal coaches. Mike Dalton, Briston Kapler, Jason Higgins, Joseph Fuller and Kieth Hazell are great coaches that make all of this happen. They all do a great job and I appreciate them more than they know. Thank you for all you do. Thank you also to Carl Junction for running a great tournament and allowing us to compete on Saturday.
