Elk Mound Archery Club held their “Ice Cream Banquet” for 2020 and 2021 on June 17th. It was a crazy two years with COVID cancelling some tournaments and others being held virtually including the NASP State and National Tournaments.
In spite of all that, Elk Mound made a good showing statewide. The High School team (27 members) ranked 7th in the state and the Middle School (17 members) ranked 15th in the state.
Four High School archers ranked in the top 15 archers in the state. Vincent Biegel was in a 3-way tie for average scorer in the state and a 2-way tie for 1st place, max scorer. Mitchell Ruppelt was in a 3-way tie for 4th place for average scorer and in 3rd place for max scorer. Kayla Brantner was in a 3-way tie for 4th place, Carley Gehrke in a 4-way tie for 13th place; and Middle School Archer, Mallory Wisemiller in a 2-way tie for 7th place, max scorer.
