BISMARCK (AP) — School archery teams from Dunseith, Medina and Hankinson are eligible to represent North Dakota at nationals.

The annual state tournament of the National Archery in the Schools Program was held in Bismarck earlier this month. Coordinator Jeff Long said participation was up 14 percent over the year.

The high school state championship team was from Dunseith, the middle school champs from Medina and the top elementary school team from Hankinson. They each will get $2,500 to travel to the national tournament May 10-11 in Louisville, Ky.

Lucas Nadeau of Dunseith and Lisa Buckhaus of Hankinson were the overall boy and girl state winners. They each are eligible for a $750 travel grant.
