The Atlantic High School Archery Team brought home two second-place trophies from the National Archery in the Schools (NASP) Western National level competition in Sandy, Utah, April 29 and 30. 

Atlantic placed second in both bullseye and 3-D events. The high finish qualifies the team to compete at the Worlds event in Kentucky at the end of June. 

According to top archer Hallee Copeland, the decision to attend Worlds as a team is yet to be determined, based on interest and availability of archers at that time.

Copeland said this is the first time AHS has placed at Nationals. She said they had hoped to perform well but were “surprised” to place so high. 

Copeland’s score of 289 is from a round of 30 arrows. The top score for each shot is worth 10 points. Her 289 sore was her personal best of the season and only 11 points off a perfect 300-point round.
