(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening recognized the remarkable achievements of the Atlantic High School and Middle School Archery Teams, and their Coach, Clint Roland. Both teams are sending archers to Sandy, Utah April 28-30th, for the Western Nationals. The Coach said Atlantic is sending the entire High School Squad to the competition, and 21 Middle School students. Their trip is coming on the heels of their performance at the National Archery in the Schools’ (NASP) Iowa State Archery Tournament.

He said they’ve always qualified at the Middle School level but never finished in the top 10, until now.
