The New Rockford-Sheyenne archery team was invited to compete in the first annual virtual Mandy Hoyt memorial bullseye and 3-D tournaments.
Let's start off with the 3-D tournament.
NR-S seventh grader, Koy Zieman, scored top notch for the Rockets, taking first place in overall boys with a score of 285. But Zieman wasn't the only Rocket archer to take top-ten in this tournament.
Among the 13 archers who competed in the tournament, all scored in the top-ten for the Rockets.
The NR-S archers in the middle school boys division scored extremely well. Layton Jacobson took third place (281); Eli Alfstad took fourth place (275); Glenn Skjerva took eighth place (254); Braylon Alfstad took ninth place (248) and Gabe Smith took 10th place (231). And that's just from the middle school boys division.
Vinnie Ruppell was the lone high school boy to shoot for the Rockets. Ruppell scored a 254, to secure fifth place.
In the middle school girls division, Olivia Larson, Adison Bullinger, Neecie Swart and Leah Bullinger placed fifth, sixth, ninth and 10th, respectively.
Taylin Jacobson earned second place in the elementary school girls division with a shot of 212. Cordell Myhre placed ninth with a score of 219.
As for the bullseye tournament, a total of nine out of 22 archers scored in the top-ten.
Yet again, Zieman placed first in the bullseye tournament with a score of 287. Also placing first for the Rockets was Bradyn Collier, with a score of 280.
Jackson Brazil followed behind Collier to take second place with a final score of 278 in the high school boys division.

Respectively, Layton Jacobson took third place (280); Chaztin Wobbema took fourth place (275); Sawyer Huso took fifth place (273); Eli Alfstad took sixth place (273) and Glenn Skjerva took ninth place (262).
And last, but surely not least, Lora Wobbema scored a 247 to take 10th place in the high school girls division.
