Foley, Alabama is once again the venue for the USA Archery National 3D Collegiate Championship. This marks the seventh consecutive year the city has hosted the event. Teams from across the United States, from California to New York, are participating.

The championship is organized in partnership with the Archery Shooters Association (ASA). According to ASA Event Director Mike Tyrell, the competition features eight classes. These include men's and women's compound bow, with fixed pins and movable site classes, barebow recurve, and Olympic recurve.

Unlike ASA's six annual Pro/Am competitions, this event focuses on both individual and team competitions. The event begins with a team mixer on the first day, followed by head-to-head team competitions on Saturday.

USA Archery CEO Rod Menzer emphasized the high level of talent among the collegiate archers. Many have won international medals this year. The event promises to be a showcase of skill, rivalry, intensity, and drama.

David Thompson, Executive Director of City of Foley Leisure Services, noted the uniqueness of collegiate athletics. He said the event offers these young archers a chance to be part of something special. The experience of competing on a national stage will stay with them forever.

The championship will culminate in an awards banquet and team final shoot on October 7 at the Foley Event Center. The entire event is open to the public, and Saturday's activities will be live-streamed on the Foley Event Center's Facebook Page.
