Archery History Team History
Four years ago, Haley Zuniga thought it would be a great idea to start an archery team at the school. She got this drive and energy after becoming a fan of the Hunger Games film series and practicing archery in her back yard. Haley sought out like-minded revolutionaries and then turned to her father with typical little princess “pleeeeeeease?” pleadings to be the sponsor and help find a coach. Gerry Zuniga decided to become the full-time coach and obtained the necessary certification that would eventually lead to the school attending tournaments. In the team’s first year, eighteen archers joined the team. Each year it has steadily grown, and, this year it has its largest membership yet: forty-five members! Two years ago, the Archery Team had their first All-City Qualifier in Jonathan Willcutt (Senoir). Last year, the team had its first State Qualifier in Katie Fightmaster (Sophomore). The team is totally self-funded and has been making steady enhancements to its system every year. Last year the team held its Archery Banquet at Whitaker Bank Ballpark, Home of the Lexington Legends! We look forward to being an integral sport at LC and continue to foster and grow many young archers!
Archery Head Coach Head Coach Gerry Zuniga Gerry Zuniga has been the head coach for the Archery Team since its first day. He has been a teacher at Lexington Catholic for 23 years and thoroughly enjoys connecting with the archery team every day. He and his wife Jill still support Haley, their daughter, who is in her second year at Transylvania University. His burning desire isn’t so much in seeking trophies, but the improvement in character among the team. The team seems to have plenty of that! He is most proud of the parents who have stepped up to help him in the operations of the team. Without their help he believes that the team would not exist.

Sophomore year is probably going to be your peak because after that you have all the skill you’ll ever have, but high school will now be really kicking in and killing you slowly from the inside.
Just because you have some trouble with shooting, don’t just decide to switch bow hands, it’s a lot less effective than just practicing the hand you’re already good at.
Shooting straight doesn’t necessarily help if you’re tall or not lined up with the target.
