Liam and Weston Waterworth competed in the MN Indoor State Archery Tournament in Virginia, MN earlier in April, both taking home first in their divisions. Both boys compete in the Olympic Recurve division, with Liam competing as a Cub and Weston as a Jr. Cub. Weston also set the new MN state record for Jr. Cub Olympic recurve all time scores with his regional qualifier score. Both boys are students at Viking Elementary School, Liam is 10 years old and in 4th grade, his younger brother Weston is an 8 year old second grader. They are the sons of Marcus and Trisha Waterworth of Viking, MN.
The weekend after the MN competition the boys traveled to Williston, ND for the State Indoor 3D shoot. Both boys fall into the Cub division in North Dakota and they shot in the Freestyle Archery class. Liam took 1st and Weston placed 2nd.
Elijah Waterworth joined the brothers at the ND tournment and he also came home with a 1st place trophy! Elijah is the 16 year old son of David and Teri Waterworth and is a sophomore at MCC. Marcus said the Elijah, the boy’s cousin, “started shooting a recurve with us around 2 months ago and has been practicing a lot. We spent a day shooting his dad's old bows and my target bows to see what he felt most comfortable with. Once he shot my recurve, we both knew thats what he should be shooting, and 2 months in he got 1st place in Young Adult Traditional at ND Indoor 3D.”
Congratulations to all of you for your exceptional finishes!
