Benton Elementary School Archers Prepare For National Championship
Last month, on March 2, the Benton Elementary Archery Team won the NASP (National Archery in School Program) State Championship. And not only did Coach Perry Norcross lead the team to a State Title, but they scored higher than the Middle School and High School Champions. The Tigers are also proud to have the Girls Overall State Champion, Kendall Fowler, the Girls Runner Up, Kayla Lynch, the Boys State Champion, Adam Haire, and the Boys Runner Up, Adam Smith.
The Tigers are now preparing for the awesome opportunity to compete in the National Archery in Schools Program National Tournament, May 10-11, 2013, in Louisville, Kentucky. The total points the team scored in the State Tournament was only slightly below that of last year’s National Champion making our Benton Archers great prospects for the National Championship!
The parents and teachers at Benton Elementary School have been working very hard to raise funds for the team to travel to Kentucky for this amazing opportunity. And now with less than 2 weeks before leaving, they are hoping you'll purchase tickets for three separate drawings they'll have:
