One of the state’s top tournaments for high school archers has been postponed for the forseeable future. According to a statement issued Wednesday, the Kentucky National Archery in the Schools Program State Tournament scheduled for March 13-14 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville will not be held this week.
Officials say the “decision was made today in conjunction with the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and the National Archery in the Schools Program as part of the Commonwealth’s ongoing effort to ensure the health and wellness of the public as Kentucky fights aggressively to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
The organization went on to apologize to the student archers, their parents, coaches and vendors.
