THE FOLLOWING IS A DANVILLE HIGH SCHOOL JROTC RELEASE
There are 12 archers from the Danville High School JROTC Archery team headed to Sandy, Utah for the JROTC NASP Western Nationals. They are also competing in the JROTC NASP Western National IBO/3D Challenge. The team is leaving Danville on April 26 and will compete on 4/28 and 4/29. It will take them an average of 23 hours to get there. They will return to Danville on 4/30/23. 1SG Powell is the new JROTC Instructor who is overseeing this trip. Congratulation to the archers who will be competing. We are very excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to see how they shoot! Thank you District 118 for allowing them to attend and to the Army for their support.
COMMENTS FROM JROTC LEADER AND TEAM COACH, 1SG CHARLES POWELL:
Audio PlayerAUDIO: Oh, they’re very excited. They can’t wait to compete, especially for the seniors. Most of the team is made up of seniors. So it’s a good thing for these guys to close out their high school careers with this type of opportunity.
Audio PlayerAUDIO: Down in Danville they start (participating in archery) when they’re young, and everything. But most of them (JROTC archers), they get into it through JROTC; but about half, about 50%, they’re shooting since they were in elementary school/junior high. And in high school they just continue shooting; and they’re pretty good!
