But [Tristan Skarvan of Wisconsin] teamed up with Paige Pearce of California and Kailey Johnson of Georgia to place first in the team division, defeating a team from Russia by seven points — and in the process smashing the world record by 147 points with a score of 358.

Before competing in Antalya, Skarvan had to qualify at the state and national level. Held in Colorado Springs, Colo., the national tournament consisted of four days of qualifying rounds against 24 competitors in her division. She finished in the top eight to reach the finals and, when one of the archers had to drop out, Skarvan went on to win six out of seven matches to finish in first place. As the national champion, the title allowed her the opportunity to compete in Turkey.

Big congratulations to Tristan Skarvan, Paige Pearce, and Kailey Johnson! Big win for USA!
