ALBUQUERQUE — The Clovis Christian School elementary archery team won first place out of 16 teams last weekend at the 2019 National Archery in the Schools Program state tournament in Albuquerque, marking its third win in the past four years according to middle school teacher and archery coach Bruce Vincent.
Fifth grader Benjamin Potters was also recognized for finishing in first place out of 196 elementary boys with a score of 266, recording 11 tens.
“Since we’re a little school going against the other big schools in the state, it’s always good when (they do well because) I just have a small group of kids and they work pretty hard,” Vincent said.
The CCS high school team finished second out of three teams and the middle school team finished fourth out of 18 teams.
Other notable performers included Ethan Bravinder (junior), Tyler Birchett (sophomore), Jordyn Archuleta (sixth grade) and Maddie Vinton (fourth grade) who each finished in first place among their grade and gender.
Students from House Municipal Schools and Zia Elementary also competed in the event.
