The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced on Tuesday the results of the 15th annual New York National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®) State Tournament. DEC hosted 558 students from 39 schools during the tournament at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse held on March 14.

“We’re thrilled to see more and more schools participating in this tournament, which is a great opportunity to help students put down their phones and tablets, learn a new skill, and get outside,” said DEC Acting Commissioner Amanda Lefton. “Congratulations to all who participated in this State Tournament and best of luck to those archers heading to Kentucky for Nationals.”

Students and schools competed in one of three divisions: High School, grades 9-12; Middle School, grades 6-8; and Elementary School, grades 4-5. Sofia Parrotta from St. Joseph by the Sea was the overall top female archer in the tournament with a score of 288. Jacob Dowdall from Norwich High School was the overall top male archer with a score of 289. Sofia and Jacob each received a trophy and a New York Champion Genesis bow with case and arrows.

St. Joseph by the Sea High School took first place in the High School division; Canaseraga won the Middle School division; and Arkport won the Elementary School division.

Top-placing results for individual archers are listed below. Awards were also given out in each of the three divisions for first through tenth places. Students who place in the top 10 in each of the three divisions qualify to compete and represent New York State at the National NASP® Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky, each May.
