NASP STATE ARCHERY

Dylan Emmerich, Brock Anderson and Ezra Hillebrand of Medford as well as Colton Lang of Gilman very nearly won individual championships during this past weekend’s National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) Wisconsin state championship events held at Wisconsin Dells.

Emmerich was one point shy of the boys middle school championship in the bullseye shoot as he scored 288 out of a possible 300 with his 15 shots from 10 meters and 15 shots from 15 meters. The only archer in grades 6-8 who was better was Stanley-Boyd’s Beau Ducommun, who got a score of 289. Gilman’s Wyatt Stephens wasn’t far off, placing fifth out of 381 archers in the division with a score of 285. Lang was 12th at 277. Emmerich is a seventh grader, Stephens and Lang are eighth graders.

In the 3-D championship, where archers take five shots at six different targets that vary in distance from 10 to 15 meters, Anderson scored 287 points and Hillebrand scored 286 in the high school boys division. That put them in second and third place just behind Wyatt Emmerich of Columbus High School, who shot a 288. Gilman’s Terran Schleis was 14th out of 114 boys in the division with his score of 276. Anderson is a freshman and Hillebrand is a junior. Schleis is a sophomore.

In the middle school boys division, Lang placed second out of 129 archers with his score of 279. He wound up three points behind champion Dane Laufenberg of Columbus. There was heavy local representation in the top 20 as Gilman’s Eli Schleis was seventh at 274, Medford’s Karson Ecklund was 12th at 271, Dylan Emmerich was 14th at 269, Gilman’s Cade Kowalczyk was 18th at 268 and Medford’s Jax Gosse was 19th at 267.

Wyllow Freudenthal, a Holy Rosary fifth grader, was a second-place finisher for Medford in the elementary division (grades 4-5) of the bullseye shoot. She earned a score of 277. The only archer of 109 that was better was Gabrielle Trava of Columbus, who shot a 285 and also won the 3-D title with a score of 284. Freudenthal was fourth there with a 256.

Other high scores for local archers in the bullseye shoot included Gilman’s Ava Webster (285), Shyan Pentimone (284) and Reece Weir (281), who were fourth, sixth and 16th out of 331 high school girls; Hillebrand (288) and Anderson (284), who were fifth and 17th out of 304 high school boys, and Gilman’s Kaysen Westaby, who was seventh out of 141 elementary boys.

In team competition, Gilman was fourth and Medford was sixth in the high school standings with 3,331 and 3,269 points respectively. Columbus won the team title with 3,388 points. Medford was 12th in the middle school standings with 3,020 points. Columbus won that too with 3,303.

Additionally in the 3-D shoot, Gilman’s Weir was eighth out of 131 high school girls at 276, Medford’s Kodi Rappe was 13th and Ava Webster was 14th as they both shot 271s. Westaby was sixth with a 257 in the elementary boys division.

Gilman ranked third among high school teams with 1,645 points, trailing Columbus (1,658) and Stratford (1,649). The Pirates were 10th in the middle school division with 1,464 points. Auburndale won that title with 1,645 points.

Top 10 individual scores in each division qualify archers for 2025 NASP National Tournament competition. The Eastern National event will be held May 810 in Louisville, Ky. High school team scores of at least 3,100, middle school team scores of at least 3,000 and elementary team scores of at least 2,500 qualify teams for national competition. High school team scores of at least 1,475, middle school team scores of at least 1,425 and elementary team scores of at least 1,225 qualify squads for the national 3-D competition.
