Three archers repeat as NASP state champions

Three archers repeated as state champions at the National Archery in the Schools Program state tournament March 17-18 at the Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln.

Winning back-to-back titles were Harrison Harvey of Lincoln Southwest in the high school division, Ayla Salistean of Milford in the middle school division and Paul Ng of Omaha Mater Dei Academy in the elementary division.

Harvey and teammate Aaron Wohleb scored 284 points — out of a possible 300 — for the highest scores in the tournament. Harvey then won the tiebreaker for first place. Salistean’s 283 was the highest female score of the tournament. Ng’s 278 was 20 points better than his closest competitor.

NASP is an in-school curriculum covering target archery for students in grades 4-12. The state tournament is the largest archery event in Nebraska.

The 17th state tournament saw nearly 700 student-archers from 30 schools competed in the traditional bull’s-eye tournament. More than 230 from 18 schools also participated in the 3D Challenge tournament.
