ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL INVITATIONAL ARCHERY TOURNAMENT<br />

St. Anthony School hosted their second annual invitational archery tournament on <strong>Feb</strong>ruary 19th and<br />

20th with 173 archers participating from 7 area elementary and middle division schools!<br />

SCI Drayton Valley Chapter sponsored the team trophies and medals as well as the individual award<br />

plaques for top male and female archer in each division. SCI Drayton Valley has been instrumental in<br />

introducing and supporting all our schools with NASP Archery.<br />

Cabela’s also donated a target for the participant draw and provided discount coupons for each archer<br />

in the tournament.<br />

An event like this takes many helping hands. We thank our St. Anthony School Grade 8 Mentor Archers<br />

and Staff for their help in setting up the range and running the office and tallying the score cards, and<br />

the Range Officials.<br />

How does one come up with an acknowledgement for all the coaches?! Because of your dedication<br />

and volunteerism the archers from your school benefit. From the time you spend on the range to your<br />

work in organizing everything from permission forms, tournament entries, equipment transportation<br />

and even making sure the archers have their shoes! The work a coach does often goes unnoticed; but<br />

let me acknowledge all that you do and reinforce that it is important, recognized and appreciated. Hats<br />

off to you!<br />

This tournament is an important preparation for our archers to help them prepare for the ‘big’ events;<br />

Nationals in March and Provincials in April.<br />

We at St. Anthony School are pleased to host this event. We thank you all for your participation.<br />

Wishing you all a steady anchor and smooth release!<br />
