A major round of applause and thanks from USCAA goes to the Mizzou Archery, the host club from University of Missouri, who graciously volunteered to host this year's 3D USIAC and ran it in a very professional manner that archers have come to expect at USCAA events. Prairie Grove Shotgun Sports provided much welcomed assistance with the event, include hot food for sale, and a huge thank you to the USCAA volunteers who assisted with registration and the event results. The U.S. Collegiate Archery Association's mission is to develop archery across the U.S. as an open and inclusive organization providing competition opportunities for all college archers. USCAA hopes that all athletes are preparing for next year's events, including the Collegiate Indoor Nationals, Regional Championships, and 2015 Target USIACs.
