The Kingston Archers

The Kingston school district started an archery program last year and they already have a shooter that will compete in the world championship. Coach Eileen Applegate says 8th grader Brayden Hoefelmann has the potential to be among the leaders this weekend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina…

Brayden finished 29th in the national competition and is ranked 47th in the world in his middle school age division. Applegate says there are two types of competitions…

The world championships will use the 3D style.
Applegate also has an 8th grade girl who almost qualified for world’s. Julia Upchurch finished 125th at nationals, only four points away from the top 100..

Applegate teaches P.E. at Kingston, but shooting coach is a natural fit for her…

We’ll let you know how Brayden finished at the world competition next week.
