Battalion Staff
Elaine Christensen won’t have
to put a star or a check on her
calendar to remember Jan. 28-
30, 1982. In her mind, those
three days will be written in big
bold letters,'magic-marker style.
You might say she’s a shoot
ing star. But Christensen, a
junior biology major at Texas
A&M and a member of the
Aggie archery team, isn’t one to
brag about her recent stroke of
good luck.
Competing in the Las Vegas
Shootout over the past weekend,
Christensen and her teammates
matched their skills with more
than 800 archers from around
the nation. And after the final
arrow had been shot Sunday
afternoon, Texas A&M walked
away with a third-place and a
fifth-place finish in the presti
gious tournament.
But from the Aggies’ point of
view, the most eye-catching sta
tistic of the competition was
listed under the individual
scores: “Elaine Christensen,
Texas A&M — 805.”
Shooting close to 40 points
above her average, Christensen
placed 12th in the overall indi
vidual standings, as she and
teammate Heather Dunnam
combined for a score of 1,491
and third place. Christensen
finished with 805 points and
Dunnam totaled 686.
For the Aggie men’s team,
Paul Chan compiled 788 points
and Mark French had 771 fora
total of 1,559 and fifth place
among in the men’s team com
petition.
Christensen, who’s been
shooting for the Aggies during
all three of her years at the Uni
versity, says the tournament
ranks as one of her best archery
experiences.
watching all those great shoo
ters.
“We had six women from the
South who were in the cham
pionship flight (held Sunday)
out of about 24 people, which is
very unusual. Archery is just not
a big sport down here.”
Christensen said she entered
the tournament knowing exactly
how she wanted to perform.
“1 went in wanting to shoot
scores as well as I do in practice,
and I did that on the first day,”
she said. “Then on the second
day, everything fell into place
and everything was in synch. On
the third day of the tournament
(the championship flight), I
guess I got a little nervous and
fell back below my average.
“I thought it was very exciting
for me,” she said. “It was the first
time I’d been to this particular
tournament. It was unique be
cause they had compound shoo
ters at this tournament, which
are some of the best shooters in
the United States, like Luann
Ryon and some other top shoo
ters. You learn a lot by just
“I had practiced a lot over the
holidays, and that probably
helped a lot. I had had experi
ence at national tournaments, so
I went in confident. 1 wanted to
shoot for the team. I wasn’t wor
ried about my individual score
— I know that Heather (Dun
nam) and I are both good
archers, so I knew that we could
shoot well.”
Coach Frank Thomas didn’t
attend the tourney, but he
wishes he had.
“Elaine’s performance was
just incredible,” Thomas said.
“Nobody could have predicted
that she’d do that well. She’s
been practicing extremely hard
and it just paid off.”
For its third-place finish, the
Aggie women’s team was
awarded $400, which will be
used to help with club finances.
The Texas A&M men’s squad
won $200 for its ef forts.
Arizona State University,
which boasts three sure-bet
Olympic team members, won
both the men’s and women’s di
visions at the tournament.
ASU’s archery program awards
scholarships to its team mem
bers and is fully supported by
the school’s athletic department.
