Hunter Genre has had quite the year. This eighth grader at New Rockford-Sheyenne has seen some highs and lows. His family nearly lost everything in their home, including his bow and arrows, due to a fire in March.
With the help of community members, Genre was able to obtain a new bow and finish out the 2021 archery season with a bang. He put on quite a show shooting for the NASP National Archery Tournament, held virtually in the NR-S gym on March 20 and 22. When the results were announced Friday, he learned that he had finished second in the middle school boys division in the 3D Tournament and eighth in the bullseye tournament.
Genre placed second out of 888 competitors in the open nationals. He shot a 293, with a total of 23 tens. Genre also competed in the bullseye tournament where he received eighth place out of 3,611, with a score of 293 and 23 tens as well.
