All 10 Lions will shoot at the Harrisonburg regional site
NEW YORK — Columbia will compete at the 56th USA Archery Indoor Nationals this weekend. The Lions will shoot at the Harrisonburg, Virginia regional site, Saturday-Sunday, which is being hosted by James Madison University at Horizons Edge Sports Campus.
All 10 Lions will compete in the event, seven in recurve and three in compound. Representing Columbia in the recurve will be senior Judith Gottlieb, junior Lillian Han, sophomores Michelle Ahn, Eunice Choi and Emily Rosenfeld, and first-years Alena Lipscomb and Mia Shin. Shooting in the compound are juniors Giselle DeSousa and Sydney Sullenberger, joined by first-year Briana Moore.
"We're all pumped for Indoor Nationals," Columbia head coach Derek Davis said. "The team has been working hard this year and I believe it will pay off."
Each Lion will shoot a round of 60 arrows on Saturday, followed by another round of 60 arrows on Sunday. The scores of Columbia's top two archers in compound and recurve will be combined to create a team score. The individual scores will count in both the age group of each shooter, as well as the collegiate division.
The scores from the Harrisonburg, Virginia regional site will be compared to the scores from all other regional sites to determine each shooter's and each team's placing. Final results will not be available until written records are compared to electronic scoring for clarification.
Last year, Eunice Choi won bronze nationally after the combining of results from the 15 regional sites.
The Lions will shoot at 12 noon on both Saturday and Sunday. Fans who want to keep up with Columbia's progress can follow live scoring courtesy of Between Ends.
