COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Five young archers are now proud recipients of all three pins in their respective division after the latest winners were confirmed as part of the USA Archery's Achievement Award Program.
Silas Huang (recurve outdoor), Lois Monderen, Esmay Ramirez (both barebow outdoor), Brody Sparks (compound outdoor) and Russell Walberg (compound indoor) all claimed JOAD Olympian gold, silver and bronze pins. Among the Adult Gold, Silver and Bronze award recipients, Alexander Rawley managed gold and silver in compound indoor. Meanwhile, Lois Monderen's dad, Rene, was not to be left out, and so he is now the proud owner of a bronze pin for barebow outdoor.
Whether you are an athlete, parent or coach, earning the Olympian and Gold, Silver and Bronze awards are a great way to push your limits, test your resolve and motivate yourself to get back on the training field.
Coaches and parents can earn these awards along with their students, allowing students to see adults go through the same struggles they do.
The USA Archery Achievement Program provides achievement award pins for progressive scoring achievements and encourages youth and adult archers to accomplish goals in the sport of archery.
Archers wishing to earn these awards must be current youth, adult, or family members of USA Archery and part of a registered USA Archery Youth or Adult club. Contact clubs@usarchery.org for more information.
