Rockets Archery produces two state champions

Archers across the state ended their season a bit differently this year. Amidst COVID-19 restrictions, state tournament organizers opted to hold a virtual tournament, conducted by compiling each archer's top scores from the season. Once the scores were compiled, State NASP officials ranked the archers and recognized the top 10 in each division. The top scoring individuals in each division were named state champion. The national tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19, putting an official end to the 2020 season.

Two Rocket archers earned state championships in their respective divisions in the bullseye tournament: Koven Walford and Hunter Genre. Both Walford and Genre also had top 10 finishes in the 3D Tournament. Walford was named Overall Top Male Archer in the bullseye tournament, with a score of 298 out of 300. He received a $4,000 scholarship.

Four other Rocket archers finished in the top 10 in both bullseye and 3D for their divisions. Sophomore Macey Wobbema finished seventh overall in bullseye and ninth in 3D in the high school girls division. Keaton Cudworth earned fourth place in middle school boys' bullseye and ninth place in 3D. Alex Weisenburger finished eighth place overall in bullseye and fifth place in 3D for middle school boys. Layton Jacobson earned eighth place overall in bullseye and fourth place in 3D among elementary boys.
