Hello All, We would like to dispel some rumors that are out there about A A&M archery and make sure people have the facts. The athletic department here has opted to discontinue funding the women's varsity archery program at A A&M due to the fact that there has been no growth in the college program for the past 5 years.

Archery was originally added as a varsity sport here at A&M 5 years ago with the plan that the sport would grow and move towards having a NCArchival Archery championship. There were 3 varsity programs 5 years ago and there are still only 3 now with no signs of growth in the near future at the college level.

Therefore, they have decided to move in another direction. If private monies can be found to fund the team, they will keep it as a varsity sport.

If no funding becomes available, archery WILL continue at A A&M but as a club sport. We had a strong archery program before the women became a varsity team and plan to continue that tradition regardless of whether the program is a varsity or club program. If you would like to voice an opinion to the athletic department or university on this matter, you can contact the following people:
