WCMS archery tops in the state-Four earn medals as team takes title

Targeting success-Members of the state champion WCMS archery team.
Warren County Middle School’s archery team hasn’t been around that many years, but when it comes to success, they’re definitely ‘on target.’

WCMS competed in the ‘State Shoot’ Tuesday at Tennessee Tech’s Hyder Pavilion, coming away with the state championship after compiling the highest score among all divisions of competition, including high school archers.

Naturally, the championship also included a victory at the middle school level, and also featured four members of the team earning state medals.

Eighth-grade archer Kyle Pelham won the middle school division medal and had the highest score among all divisions, earning a trophy and a Genesis bow from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Seventh-grader Alex Walker took home second place in the division behind Pelham, while in the girls’ division eighth-grader Abby Barlow took second and seventh-grader Melanie Rush brought home third place.

The team is coached by Mendi Davis and Mary Greer.
