Wrap up of *correction* 2nd Annual */correction* Stony Brook Invitational

First of all i'd like to thank Smith Point Archery for helping us out so much with the shoot when our own student government bailed on us. It means a lot to actually have a range that we can call our home when even the university doesn't pay a lot of attention to us.
Also, a big shout-out to the Baruch Archery Club for making their way half way into Long Island to attend this shoot :D
As i pointed out before, competition is not neccesarily a place to win, but a place where you get to see the fruits of your training and to test your real limits in archery. During the first half of the competiton, Baruch was keeping up with his neck and neck, both team exhibited forms with little flaw and battled it out honorably in the name of their respective schools. The atmosphere was deadly and nerve wracking. It wasn't until half way where Stony Brook had a clear and steady lead over their opponents.
It wasn't until after the competition when i had some time to examine the invitational as a whole where i finally figured out why it was like that.
The reason was being that Baruch shooters were quickly growing tired whereas we train our shooters not only in form but in endurance under competition conditions where their endurance is always being pushed to the max. There's not a day after our practices where half of our members don't complain of being tired of shooting. But it is also because of this training regiment that we have succeeded.
But despite the results of the competition, archery has been played and fun was had.
This wraps up our indoor season as this is the last shoot that we can have before our finals in two weeks.
I would like to thank the 2010-2011 E-Board and field marshals for making this year one of the best years in the club yet and i would like to thank all of our members for participating in competitions, showing up to tuesday meetings, thursday shoots, and to the people who would of liked to shoot outdoors more but couldn't because of the crazy weather that only liked to rain on mondays and wednesdays.
Best of luck to our shooters during the outdoor season over the summer and best of luck to all of the graduating members of the stony brook archery club.
Special shout-out to our 2010-2011 E-Board turning Emeritus:
Kieth Fiore - President
Amanda Lai - Treasurer
and shout-out to our newly elected 2011-2012 E-Board
Brian Tien - President
Stephen Jiang - Vice President
Mo Lam - Secretary
Anthony Tom - Treasurer
Thank you all for your support, effort, and time towards the Stony Brook Company of Archers!
See you all next semester! (This blog will be kept updated throughout the summer time by the newly elected e-board! :D )
