The final national archery tournament of the year was held this past weekend in Seven Springs, PA. The IBO World Championships were the last time for archers to compete against each other this season. World Champions were crowned and IBO Shooter of the Year awards were handed out.
Kailey Johnston who was coming off her ASA Classic championship just last week continued her strong shooting in the first round and finished the day with a five point lead. She relinquished the lead after the second round to Cara Fernandez and that set the stage for a memorable final round on Sunday. With two targets left Cara shot an eight on the turkey and Kailey shot an eleven to take a one point lead that she held onto for the win. Cara Fernandez finished in second and Samantha Morgan rounded out the podium in third place. Cara's overall solid shooting this season earned her IBO Shooter of the Year honors to go along with her second place finish.
