COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - USA Archery has awarded the 2017 National Outdoor Collegiate Championships bid to the Easton Archery Center of Excellence who will partner with UC San Diego to host the event. The NOCC will be held May 18-21 at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center in California.
Coach of the UCSD Sun God Archery Club and Easton Foundations' Event Coordinator Nick Kale shared: "Keaton Chia (Program Director for Easton Foundations) and I both got really involved in archery through the collegiate program, so getting to work in the industry and having the ability to host the NOCC is something we're really both excited about. We went through the whole process and college archery is so important to both of us; now that we're in this position to host a tournament, we're really hoping to deliver a top quality tournament to the collegiate community. Following James Madison and Michigan State, both were very high grade events, we have some big shoes to fill, but we're really excited to do it."
The U.S. National Outdoor Collegiate Championship will consist of a welcome parade and reception, one day of Official Practice, two days of 72-arrow qualification rounds, the first followed by the Mixed Team event and the second followed by Team event, and finally individual elimination matches.
The event will conclude with an awards banquet to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of archers and coaches. Archers can compete for medals in all events in addition to the prestigious National Team Championship award and All-American and Academic All-American Honors.
Registration and host hotel information for this event will be available in early 2017. For a complete list of USA Archery sanctioned events, click here. For more information on the Collegiate Archery Program click here or contact Collegiate Archery Program Callie Grieser at [email protected].
