NASP ARCHERY

Gilman’s Casey Grunseth and Medford’s Kirsten Weix won the event’s overall individual championships, Medford’s Landen Viergutz wasn’t far off and Gilman’s Reece Weir and Medford’s Dylan Emmerich also took home first-place awards at the National Archery in the Schools Program shoot held Friday and Saturday at Medford Area Middle School.

The tournament drew 680 entries, including 455 in the traditional bullseye portion of the shoot (244 boys and 211 girls) and 225 more in the 3-D shoot (126 boys and 99 girls) with participants coming from all over the state.

The Medford Archery Club presented combined event awards to the top three male and female scorers who competed in both the bullseye and 3-D shoots. Grunseth won the boys first-place plaque with a total score of 590 that included 51 10-point shots. He got one more 10-point shot than Marshfield’s Dylann Brogan to win the tiebreaker. Viergutz placed third with 581 points.

Grunseth won the high school boys 3-D competition with a score of 296 out of a possible 300 and he was second in the bullseye shoot with a 294. Brogan nearly made history in the bullseye shoot, falling one shot shy of perfection. After 29 tens, his last arrow of the competition just missed the 10-spot, giving him a 299 after 30 shots, 15 from 10 meters and 15 from 15 meters. Brogan and Viergutz tied for second place in the 3-D shoot with scores of 291 that included 21 10-point shots. Viergutz was fifth in the bullseye competition with a 290.

Weix, a senior, won the girls allaround first-place award with 569 points, including 34 combined 10-spot shots. She won the high school girls 3-D competition with a score of 289 and added a 13thplace score of 280 in the bullseye shoot. She outscored Augusta’s Roella Weiss by five points in the combined scoring.

Weir, a seventh grader, posted a personal- best score of 291 with 24 tens on Saturday to win the girls middle school championship in the bullseye shoot. She added a third-place 3-D score of 266. Emmerich, a fifth grader, won the elementary boys championship in the 3-D shoot with a score of 263, beating 20 other archers. Emmerich also was fifth in the bullseye shoot at 259.

Medford’s high school team won the 3-D team championship in its division with 1,685 points, 20 more than runnerup Gilman. Medford edged Gilman by four, 1,496-1,492, to take third in the middle school division behind Stratford (1,581) and Auburndale (1,505).

Gilman and Medford tied for second place in the high school team standings of the bullseye shoot with 3,321 points. They trailed Cadott’s total of 3,379. Gilman had one more 10-point shot among the team scorers than Medford did, 163162, to claim second place.

Medford scored 3,080 points in the middle school division to place second behind Stratford (3,255) while Gilman was fifth with 3,011.
