Please join me in welcoming Denise Parker to the CEO position at USA Archery. Of course, she’s already a little bit settled in as she’s been “Acting CEO” for several months now. During her tenure, I’ve seen a marked increase in communication and openness from USA Archery. The changes that I’ve seen, I’ve liked. Keep up the good work Ms. Parker!

“I believe we made some progress over the past few months putting together a strategy and securing funding to help execute that plan,” explains CEO Parker. “We have much more work to accomplish, including filling a couple of key staffing positions, but I believe we are on our way to rebuilding the organization. I thank the Board for their confidence in me. I am humbled by all the support I have received and am very excited about the future of USA Archery.”

The USA is also competing very well in the men’s compound division.

The French team placed Dominique GENET on top of qualification in Compound Men. With a 596 total (out of a possible 600), GENET is one point ahead of Jesse BROADWATER (USA) and two in front of Duncan BUSBY (GBR) and defending indoor world champion Braden GELLENTIEN (USA). The third American is seeded no. 5 with 593 points. Winner of the indoor tournament in Nimes this year, Pierre Julien DELOCHE (FRA) lies in ambush at 7th.
