A house RESOLUTION

TO APPLAUD THE PELION MIDDLE SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM, 
COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE 
THEM ON WINNING THE 2024 NATIONAL ARCHERY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM and International 
Bowhunting ORGANIZATION's 3D NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL 
DIVISION.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is delighted to learn that the Pelion Middle 
School archery team captured the coveted crown in the Middle School Division at 
the 2024 National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) and International Bowhunting 
Organization's (IBO) 3D National Championship Tournament, held June 6-8, 2024, in 
Daytona Beach, Florida; and

Whereas, it was a satisfying 
victory for the Panthers: They claimed the national title with 1,705 points, 
setting a new school record and proving their mettle in combined events that 
included 2,970 archers from thirty-nine states. Further, team member Delilah 
Williams was an individual 3D award winner, taking home third place in the 
Middle School Division (Girls) with a score of 290; and

Whereas, additionally, 
the Pelion Middle Bullseye team placed third in the 2024 NASP National Bullseye 
Championship, Middle School Division, with a score of 3,319. In that event, 
team member Claire Hartley turned in a score of 290 and garnered fifth-place 
honors in the girls' competition as an individual Bullseye award winner; and

Whereas, the gifted 
coaches of the Pelion archers, Head Coach Larry Pool and his assistants, David 
Taylor and Maria Bolen, proudly watched as their fine athletes shot their way 
to the top and earned the right to titles and other awards only champions get to 
take home; and

Whereas, prior to the 
national championship, the Pelion archers attended the 2024 Eastern National 
Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 11, 2024. There, they upheld their 
high reputation, finishing the competition as NASP/IBO 3D champions with a 
score of 1,702. The team also placed fifteenth in the 2024 NASP Eastern 
National Bullseye Tournament with a score of 3,292; and

Whereas, proud of these 
young athletes, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great 
pleasure in celebrating the Pelion Middle archers, who have won respect and 
honor for their school and community through the excellence of their 
performance. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, applaud 
the Pelion Middle School archery team, coaches, and school officials for an 
outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the 2024 National Archery 
in the Schools Program and International Bowhunting Organization's 3D National 
Championship title in the Middle School Division.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Principal Jessica Keisler and Head Coach Larry Pool.
