LANSING, Mich.—The Greater Lansing Sports Authority (GLSA), along with the MSU Archery Club and the Hope Sports Complex are pleased to be teaming up to host the 2016 National Outdoor Collegiate Archery Championships, May 19-22, 2016.
This event, being held for the first time in Greater Lansing, will bring over 300 archers from 40 different colleges and 22 different U.S. states to compete in Greater Lansing during this multi-day competition.
“This is a first-rate sports event for the region and for the governing body to select Greater Lansing to host is a huge win,” said Meghan Ziehmer, Manager of Sports Events. “Our resume of past successful archery events combined with the strength of our regional partners was a key to getting this event which will have all kinds of positive impact on the community as a whole.”
