Thirty-three schools participated in the Provincial NASP (National Archery in Schools Program) tournament held April 24 and 25 in Avonlea.
Weyburn Comprehensive School along with the Weyburn Wildlife Federation sent Grade 10 student Dalton Nieszner and Grade 12 student Daylan Swanson. Nieszner scored 243 with a High School Boys Rank of 34 out of 100, 10th Grade Boys Rank of 12 out of 25 and an Overall Boys Rank of 73 out of 414. Swanson scored 209 with a High School Boys Rank of 70 out of 100, 12th Grade Boys Rank of 11 out of 15 and an Overall Boys Rank of 214 out of 415.
This was a provincial tournament that is held in Saskatchewan every year. The NASP program is taught in over 177 schools across Saskatchewan with students from grade four to grade 12 learning archery as part of their school curriculum. All of these schools and students are eligible to participate in these provincial tournaments and the national tournaments. At these tournaments, students participate as individual competitors and team competitors. This year there were around 900 student archers registered.
The students would like to thank the Weyburn Wildlife Federation Archery Club for the shirts that they purchased and Knight Dodge for the use of a van for travel to the tournament.
