Winnipeg archer claims another U.S. National title

Archery Manitoba congratulates provincial team member Austin Taylor for winning the 2024 USA Archery National Indoor Collegiate Championship.

Taylor’s score of 1,194 out of 1,200 was not only the highest score in collegiate competition, it was the highest score across all categories. The USA Archery National Indoor tournament is held at various locations from Massachusetts to San Diego, and while his Lindsey Wilson College teammates competed in Kentucky, Taylor was eligible to shoot in nearby Becker, Minn.

Taylor’s score beat University of Cumberlands, also in Kentucky, shooter Isaac Sullivan by one point. It’s Taylor’s fifth USA national championship, having claimed indoor and 3D archery titles. Taylor graduated in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and returned as a graduate student for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons to earn his master’s degree.

At the end of the 2023 season, Taylor was named USA Archer of the Year, Lindsey Wilson Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Mid-South Conference Student-Athlete of the Year.

For the USA Archery National Indoor tournament, athletes shoot the standard indoor field, consisting of three arrows per end for four rounds of 10 ends, a total of 120 arrows or 1,200 points. A perfect score per arrow is 10, consisting of a dime-sized ring on a target face 18 metres away. For a score of 1,194, Taylor missed the 10 only six times.
