COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Following elections held by USA Archery (USAA), Heather Koehl and Katherine Wu have been appointed to roles on the Team USA Athletes’ Commission.
Koehl is the new Team USA Athletes’ Commission (Team USA AC) Athlete Representative and Wu the Team USA AC Athlete Representative – Alternate.
“I am deeply honored to have been elected to serve on the USA Archery Athlete Advisory Council,” Koehl said. “Thank you to all the athletes who placed their trust in me through their votes. As a member of the AAC, I am committed to being a strong voice for all USA Archery athletes.
“I understand the unique challenges we face as competitive archers, and I will work to ensure our perspectives are heard and our needs are addressed. My door will always be open to hear your concerns, ideas, and feedback.
“Together, we can continue to strengthen our sport and create an even better environment for current and future generations of American archers.”
Members of the Team USA AC, formerly the USOPC Athletes’ Advisory Council (AAC), serve as the representative group and voice of Team USA athletes. Team USA AC is responsible for broadening communication between the USOPC and active athletes and serves as a source of input and advice to the USOPC board of directors.
Both representatives will serve on USA Archery’s Board of Directors with Koehl as a voting member and Wu as a non-voting member. Both Koehl and Wu will also have seats on USA Archery’s Athlete Advisory Council.
