The Hastings High School (HHS) Raiders and St. Elisabeth Ann Seton (SEAS) Patriots Archery Teams traveled to Roseville to compete in the Beacon Shootout – Bullseye and 3D Tournaments. These tournaments are part of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).

The Raiders earned their first podium finishes since the program’s inception, receiving recognition in both team and individual standings. The 3D team placed second with a total score of 1,553 out of 1,800, with sophomore Lillie Shaleen earning fifth place individual with a score of 267. Freshman Esme Renneke also reached the podium, placing fifth in the Bullseye tournament with a score of 275. These results mark a significant milestone in the development of the HHS Raiders Archery program, highlighting the dedication and skill of its student-athletes and coaches.

The Patriots repeated their success from last year, taking home a first-place trophy, this time in the Middle School division 3D, compared with the Elementary division last year in Bullseye. SEAS also had multiple individual archers reach the podium. In 3D, Gabriella Seefeld placed third in middle school, Wyatt Shaleen placed fourth in elementary, and Black Akre placed fifth in elementary. In Bullseye, Leo Seefeld earned second place in middle school with a perfect fifty round, Gabriella Seefeld placed fourth in middle school, Elayna Goebel placed fourth in elementary, and Evie Goebel placed fifth in elementary.
