ARCHERY

Grantham youth fundraises for Nationals

Earlier this year, 11-year-old Hunter Owens of Clarkston’s Grantham Elementary became the school’s first-ever archer to hit a perfect round of bullseyes in competition.

Owens’ showing qualified him for Nationals next month in Florida, but neither the school nor his family is in a position to finance the trip. A GoFundMe page entitled “Help Hunter Owens Reach the Archery Nationals” has been created in hopes of raising the necessary funds.

The Grantham Elementary Archery team of Clarkston competed at the NASP Western National tournament in Sandy, Utah on April 27th. Grantham placed 15th in 3D out of 29 teams and 17th in Bullseye out of 26 teams. Adelia Elliot, Hunter Owens, Leighton Harris-Adams, and MacKenzie Eck qualified for the NASP World Championship in Florida June 6-8. These four will be working hard to fundraiser for this event.
