Posted

ALAMOSA – Two students from Moffat School represented Moffat Archery and the State of Colorado at the National Archery in the Schools Program Open National Tournament on June 6-8 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Kandra Pollard, an eighth-grade student at Moffat competed against 449 middle school girls and finished 108th in the final standings. Tanner Shellabarger, a seventh-grader was in the middle school boys competition against 495 other archers and finished 161st.

A total of 1,300,000 participate in the National Archery in the Schools program annually in the United States.

Both Pollard and Shellabarger earned the opportunity to compete at the nationals by turning in qualifying scored at the NASP National Western Championships in Sandy, Utah, in April. They are the third and fourth Moffat archers to qualify for the NASP Open Nationals in five seasons. Chase Shellabarger qualified in 2023 and Rose Tallmadge in 2020.
