Approximately 800 students from 32 schools across the state, including Elementary, Middle School and High School divisions, will compete for the title of North Carolina State Champion. Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female individual archers, and to the top-scoring team in each division. Additionally, a $2,500 scholarship will be awarded to the top-scoring high school male and female archers.
