Ag archery team on target,
sets sights on national title
By Larry Keller Jr.
Reporter
The Texas A&M archery team
has targeted its sights on being No. 1
this year.
“There’s no one except Arizona
State that has a chance to beat us,”
coach Frank Thomas says.
Arizona State is the powerhouse
in collegiate archery, Thomas says,
but A&M should be tough with two
returning All-Americans and a vet
eran archer who shot in the U.S.
Olympic Festival this summmer.
He says the team has been orga
nized since 1977. The ages of the
team members range from 18 to 37.
The team competes in the Na
tional Archery Association’s South
ern district. The district is made up
of just two teams: A&M and the Uni
versity of Texas.
There are two seasons in colle
giate archery: indoor and outdoor.
The outdoor season is from April to
about late October and the indoor
season is from November to early
April.
The two main tournaments in ar
chery are the Indoor and Outdoor
Nationals. In the Indoor Nationals
last year, the men’s and women’s
teams both finished in sixth place. In
outdoor competition, the women
finished fifth and the men finished
second to Arizona State University.
Thomas’ reason for confidence
this year could he the return of All-
Americans Gary Boecker and
Tommy Thompson.
Boecker, a senior accounting and
finance major from Houston, says
that his goals are to beat Arizona
State and possibly try out for the
U.S. Olympic team.
Thompson says he also wants to
try out for the Olympics and would
like nothing better than to be No. 1
in the nation.
Rick Stonebraker, the oldest
member of the team at 37, also acts
as mentor and assistant coach. He
competed in the Olympic Festival in
Houston, and was a two-time All-
American at Penn State University.
Stonebraker says many of the
physical aspects of archery are taken
for granted. There are many varia
bles in archery ranging from the way
the bow is held to the way an archer
stands, Stonebraker says.
“All have to be ‘on’,” he says, “and
if any one of them or any combina
tion is ‘off you won’t hit the middle.”
The women’s team also is looking
to improve this year. Julie Burg is
one of six women that make up the
team. The senior animal science ma
jor from San Antonio took archery

as a physical education class and was
talked into entering a tournament by
her instructor. She did better than
some of the team members and has
been on the squad ever since.
“My personal goals kind of coin
cide with team goals,” she says. “If I
raise my scores, it’s going to help the
team out.”
Unlike the Arizona State team, all
20 members of the A&M team are
non-scholarship athletes. They have
to buy their own bows, which cost up
to $1200, and their own arrows
which range in cost from S3.50to
S14 a piece.
The team practices from 3 to!
p.m. on the field across from tin

All outdoor tournaments are heU

T his weekend the archery tea®
will host the Aggie Open on tit
field. Future tournaments for tl*
team are the Longhorn 1200inAus-
tin on Nov. 1 and 2 and the Indoor
Regionals in Austin on Dec.hand'

at Vanderbilt,” Bernstine said.
“He said he needed a tight end
that could run, catch and do some
thing with the ball.
“Kevin’s hitting me w'ith the
passes and making the best of the sit
uation.”
While Bernstine may seem like a
one-man receiving corps, he said
he’s just part of a well-meshed Aggie
offense.
“It’s not any one person that the
defense can key on,” he said. “Roger
(Vick) and (Keith) Woodside are
both great running backs. Kevin’s a
great quarterback, and now we have
a receiver that can catch the ball
other than the wide-out — which
helps open up the long ball because
they won’t be able to protect the
short passes or the running game all
the time.”
The A&M offense is averag®
428.5 yards per game headingi®
Saturday’s contest with Housm
and Bernstine doesn’t foresee ant
slowdown in output.
“I feel like we can move the If
against anybody,” he said. “Ken
has a great arm and we haveanoulv

I don’t feel like we can reallv be slop J
