Michigan State Archery Team to Host

National Championship
The Michigan State University Archery Team will be hosting the 35th USA Archery
Collegiate Indoor Championships February 27, 28, March 1. Five schools will make their
way to the Demmer Center, 4830 East Jolly Rd, Lansing MI, on the campus of MSU to
show off their skills against the best collegiate archers in the country.
Michigan State will feature 18 competitive archers. Each participant will shoot 60 arrows
for a possible score of 600. Scores from this weekend will then be combined with four
other shoots around the country to determine a national champion. Individual champions
will also be crowned in four different disciplines.
We have a lot of talent on this team, said head coach Glen Bennett. I am expecting a
few top-ten finishes.
Last year, MSU had four shooters place in the top ten nationally. Three of those shooters
are competing this year. MSU will also have four All-Americans in this competition. A
total of 50 competitors from schools like Purdue University, and Case Western University
are expected to attend. Shooting will begin at 1 PM on all three days and is expected to
last three hours.
The Michigan State Archery Teams purpose is to introduce the sport of
archery to interested students and to provide opportunities for those students
to compete at the collegiate level.
