Lancaster Archery Foundation Awards Grant to 2022 World University Games Archery Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Archery recently nominated a team for the 2022 World University Games, set for June 26-July 7 in Chengdu, China. This prestigious multi-sport event, known also as the FISU Summer Games features 18 sports, including target archery.

The Lancaster Archery Foundation has generously awarded a grant to help fund these archers to represent USA on the world stage. Each archer will receive $1,000 towards the expenses of this trip and USA Archery is incredibly grateful for the support of the Foundation.

Student-athletes make tremendous sacrifice, putting in countless hours of hard work, dedication and training to succeed in the classroom and on the target. “USA Archery sincerely thanks the Lancaster Archery Foundation for easing the financial burden on our talented collegiate archers and for supporting them on their road to bring home the gold from the Summer Games in China,” said USA Archery CEO Rod Menzer.

“The Lancaster Archery Foundation is proud of these athletes’ accomplishments. We applaud their extraordinary efforts to represent our country, their colleges and the sport of archery on the world stage. The foundation wanted to help reduce the financial impact of the trip for these collegiate athletes as they focus on their education and archery,” said Lancaster Archery Foundation President Rob Kaufhold.
