ASU Archery is Back!

Arizona State University (ASU) has officially re-entered competition in the sport of Archery!   Archery ceased to be a varsity sport at ASU in the early 1990’s due to ASU Athletic Department decisions.  Until that point, the program had won more national titles (men's archery 15 times, women's archery 21 times, and mixed archery 20 times) than any other athletic group at ASU while additionally boasting numerous World and Olympic team members and medalists.

Sun Devil Archery is bringing that winning tradition back to the Valley.  As such, a few dedicated archers have joined together to form a campus club to promote the sport and its competition.

 Maggie Huff has an interesting story.  In the 06-07 year, she came to ASU as the top Junior US Archery Team member in the Olympic (Recurve) division.  As a freshman, Maggie was 2nd at the 2008 Western Regional Championships and was named All-American, finishing 2nd at the US Archery Intercollegiate Championships (USIACs).  Over the 2007 summer, she decided she was ready for new challenge and returned to ASU for the 07-08 year as a Compound shooter.  Maggie was tied with ASU rival Ashley Votruba (2006 Western Regional Compound Champion and returning All-American) at the end of the elimination rounds forcing them into an arrow for arrow shoot off for the top 2008 regional honor.  After two shoot-off arrows, they were still tied.  On the third head to head arrow, Maggie shot a 9, while Ashley had an 8.  That final arrow made Maggie the regional champion in the compound divisions!

 On the men's side, Dakota Sinclair and Ted Harden also have an exciting history.  In 2006, Dakota was at Saddleback Community College in California, while Ted was here at ASU.  Ted and Dakota met in the final round of the 2006 Western Regional Championships to determine the title.  That year, Ted bested Dakota for the championship, 106-105.  Dakota then took a year off from school to train full-time for the Olympic Trials in which he finished 10th.  In the fall of 2007, Dakota transferred to ASU.  This year, Ted (2006 Western Region Champion and 2-time returning All-American) and Dakota once again met in the final round of the Western Regional Championships.  In a deja-vu moment, the score was 107-106, but this time, Dakota finished on top with Ted taking the 2nd place honor.

Maggie, Ashley, Dakota, Ted, and Mike Speck were all named to the West All-Regional Archery Team. The team represents best athletes in the sport from among Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming schools, as determined by an archer's combined scores from US Indoor Nationals and the Western Regional Outdoor Championship FITA portion.

 There are 29 schools with eligible archers in the Western Region.  There were 106 athletes present at the 2008 Western Regional Championships.

 Sun Devil Archery will close out its season in mid May when they travel to Mays Landing, New Jersey, to compete in the US Intercollegiate Archery Championships and the World University Games trials.
