text-indent: 0in\">One of the CVYAA&#8217;s archery coaches, Chris McComb, who is also the principal at Choconut Valley Elementary School, said that the program&#8217;s main goal is to get kids involved in a lifelong activity.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">And it has, as teams traveled in April to the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg to compete in the NASP Pennsylvania State Tournament where the Choconut Valley Team A captured gold for its third consecutive year and the Montrose Middle School team took second place.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">There were 11 individual medalists clinched at the competition.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;The beauty of archery is you can compete against others or against your own personal accomplishments,&#8221; McComb said of the sport.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">The CVYAA is an independent, community-funded organization that receives a tremendous amount of cooperation and collaboration with Montrose Area School District.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;Through the combined efforts (of the CVYAA and the school district) our kids benefit,&#8221; McComb said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">This program got started four years ago when McComb approached the CVYAA board about starting an archery program.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">Then, he and four others (Bob Kimmell, Mike Giangrieco, Glenn Weaver and Karl Winner) got certified as instructors.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;We approached local businesses and organizations to help with initial start up funding,&#8221; McComb said. &#8220;The CVYAA donated the remainder of the funding necessary to get the program up and running.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">First year sponsors included the Silver Lake Rod and Gun Club, The Wilson Moore branch of the Wild Turkey Federation and Montrose Sporting Goods.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">Since then, the program has continued to grow, and McComb is enjoying its successes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">When asked how it felt to see the two teams perform at such a high level, he said it was &#8220;awesome.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;Throughout the year we watch each of our archers personally improve and gain confidence,&#8221; McComb said. &#8220;The trophies and medals are great for them, but to see the excitement on their face when their name is called is what it is all about for us as coaches.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;What is equally as impressive is the fact that over half of our students who competed at this year&#8217;s state tournament, recorded their all time personal high score during the competition.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">McComb said the program is extremely beneficial to those who participate.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">&#8220;Anyone can participate, both boys and girls can shoot side by side and compete,&#8221; McComb said. &#8220;It is a life sport that teaches self discipline, self confidence and patience.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">Members of the Choconut Valley Team A are John Giangrieco, Nicole Kimmell, Andrew Fedish, Thomas Williams, Ben Foster, Katie Warner, Maddie Guinane, Katie Wurth, Spencer Quinn, Paige Yeomans, Mackenzie Garner, Alexie Calloway, Tyler Casey, Alan-Michael Strohl, Nathan Giles and Michaela Pike.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">Montrose Middle School team members are Brandon Weaver, McCade Callaway, Kassidi Ramirez, Travis Carter, Julia Amorino, Jacob Hayes, Blair Pipher, Dominick Lippolis and Josh Giles.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in\">Instructors include McComb, Kimmell, Giangrieco, Glenn Weaver, Phil Yoemans, Fred Hayes, Karen Hayes, Jeff Williams, Diane Wurth, Mike Guinane, Sue Giles, Tom Giles and Ken Foster. <\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;
