HARRISONBURG, Va. — "They looked very strong," Penn College archery coach Dustin Bartron said after the Wildcats' showing at the Eastern Region Outdoor Championships on April 26-27 produced two team golds, an individual silver and two individual bronze medalists.
Three archers — Brady Buriak, Casey Keiter and Josiah Hinojos — were awarded All-East honors.
How it happened: Taking gold was the men's compound team of Buriak, Emery Gunsallus and Colby Dell and the men's fixed pins team of Keiter, Hinojos and Wyatt Steigerwalt.
Gunsallus claimed an individual silver in the men's compound, while Buriak took bronze in the men's compound, and Keiter captured bronze in the men's fixed pins.
Coach speak: "They are in great shape going into nationals in Michigan later this month. We have work to do over the next two weeks to prepare for teams from outside our region. This group's chemistry, willingness to work and commitment to success will pay off," Bartron said.
Up next: USA Archery Collegiate Target Nationals at Lansing, Michigan, May 16-18
