Covington Catholic High School announces the formation of its 12th KHSAA-sanctioned athletic team, in the sport of archery.
At a recent meeting, 47 CCH students showed interest in participating on the Archery team. Archery is a winter sport, with a KY State Championship occurring in April in Lexington, KY. Teams consist of between 16-24 co-ed Archers, so CovCath will participate with the Notre Dame Academy team. Mr. Robb Schneeman, a teacher and faculty chair of the Business Department at CCH, as well as the Head Golf Coach, will also coach the Archery team.
Mr. Tony Bacigalupo, the CovCath Athletic Director, provided this comment with the announcement: "We are very excited to offer our 12th KHSAA sanctioned sport at Covington Catholic. There has been a tremendous amount of interest in and excitement for Archery, and we look forward to competing at a high level. Mr. Schneeman will do an excellent job teaching and leading these young men in this new endeavor."
Since 2002, thousands of schools and millions of students throughout five countries have participated in the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®). Rules are set and governed by the NASP.
