Archers Hit Their Mark!

Wilton Athletes Qualify for Nationals

May 2025

The Wilton Elementary and Wilton High School archery teams are hitting their mark once again! After a season of hard work and dedication, both teams, along with one individual high school archer, qualified for the prestigious NASP Western Nationals Archery Tournament, which took place in late April in Salt Lake City, Utah.


This season, the Wilton Archery Team grew to an impressive 67 archers. Their efforts paid off in March at the State Tournament, where the Elementary Team brought home 3rd place in Bullseye, and the High School Team earned 3rd place in 3D. On top of that, one high school athlete achieved an outstanding individual score to qualify solo for Nationals!


But that’s not all! Wilton’s archers also had an exciting opportunity to compete in the CenterShot Champion Archery Meet, also in Salt Lake City, where they faced more than 140 teams, in addition to the more than 230 schools competing at NASP Western Nationals.


A total of 14 elementary archers and 13 high school archers, along with their families, made the trip to Utah to represent Wilton with pride. Several athletes scored in the top 5% - 10% of all competitors.


The team is working hard not just on their aim, but also through fundraising efforts to make this incredible experience possible, as the archery program is entirely self-funded.
