School-aged archers from across the state participated virtually in the 2021 National Archery in the Schools state tournament. Archers competed in their own gymnasiums and scores were submitted electronically.

The top 10 archers in each division of the bullseye tournament qualify for the national tournament, which will be held virtually. In addition, the top team in each division also qualifies.

The North Dakota Youth Archery Advisory Committee contributed $21,000 in college scholarships to the top five overall scorers in both boys and girls divisions.

Oakes students claimed top honors in the high school (grades 9-12), middle school (grades 7-8) and elementary (grades 4-6) bullseye team divisions.

The overall individual male winner was Oakes archer Hunter Kamlitz, while Medina student Gracie Gunderson claimed the top individual spot in the female division.
