Congratulations to Miss Priscilla Martinez on her amazing achievement! Priscilla shot her personal best score of 286/300, securing 2nd place out of 356 elementary girls (Grades 4 & 5) at the NASP World Championship Archery Tournament in Daytona, Florida. She had an impressive 17 bullseyes and ranked 2nd out of 245 5th-grade girls. Overall, Priscilla placed 58th out of 1,265 girls from Grades 4-12 and ranked 1st overall among the girls who competed from the state of Arkansas. Competing against the top archers is no easy feat, and we couldn’t be prouder of her dedication and skill. Keep aiming high and achieving greatness, Priscilla! 🎯
