The collegiate division of US Archery is the fastest growing division today. In 2005, more than 200 college archers competed at the US Intercollegiate Archery Championships (USIACs). This group of archers receives no outside support, little media attention, and zero sponsorship. Yet, it will be archers in this division that will be the next Sr. USAT members, and are some of our brightest Olympic prospects.
There are 38 All-Americans and in 2005-06, there are 22 All-Academic Team members. Many college archers are struggling to pay for school---getting new equipment is difficult. Please help encourage these young athletes by offering discounts. In 2005, Easton, Sure-loc, Alpen Outdoors, and Doinker sponsored the All-Americans.
Sponsor the 2006-07 All-American or All-Academic posters. The All-American poster features full-color individual pictures of each archer along with their name and school. The All-Academic will be a group picture, with the names of the archers. Sponsorship for the All-American poster is $500. Sponsorship for the All-Academic poster is $200. Posters are then distributed to JOAD clubs, archery shops, and universities throughout the country.
There are 4 Rookie of the Year awards given out at USIACs (2 male, 2 female). These archers usually use borrowed club equipment from their universities. We would like to present the 2006-07 Rookies each with a new bow.
