RIO RANCHO Mescalero Apache School placed five archers among the top 10 finishers to win their division and become the first Native American team to win a state championship at the New Mexico National Archery in the Schools State Tournament.
Almost 300 archers from across New Mexico braved stormy weather and difficult travel conditions to compete in the annual event at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho on Saturday. Mescalero Apache School and team winners in two other divisions will advance to the National Archery in the Schools Tournament May 7-9 In Louisville, Ky.
I will try to go. Maybe take the wife for a weekend on the town. Never been to one, although I've watched youtube videos of the Olympics competitions. I bet it will be fun to watch. One can say all one wants, but those guys can shoot a bow! Archery was one of the disciplines Confucius thought a "real man" (my quotes) should practice.
