GELLENTHIEN WINS INDIVIDUAL TITLE At U.S. INDOOR ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIPS

HARRISONBURG, Va., March 20, 2005 –- James Madison sophomore archer Braden Gellenthien (Hudson, Mass./Hudson) captured his second straight national championship with an 1,184-1,182 victory over David Roth of Michigan State.

Gellenthien took first place from the U.S. Indoor East Region Championships, held March 10-12 at JMU's Godwin Hall. Results from that regional tournament were combined with results from around the country at other regional tournaments to determine national indoor finishes in the respective divisions.

JMU sophomore Jedd Greshock (Shenandoah, Pa./Shenandoah Valley) took third with a 1,178, while freshman Michael Ashton (Watertown, Conn./Watertown) finished sixth with a score of 1,151. Another freshman, Stephen Schwade (Summerville, S.C./Monroe-Woodbury, N.Y.), finished eighth with a 1,148, giving the Dukes four top-10 finishers in the men's compound event.

The Dukes had two third place finishers, including sophomore Jacob Wukie (Oak Harbor, Ohio/Fremont Ross), who shot a 1,135 in the men's recurve event, and freshman Brittany Lorenti (Trumbull, Conn./Saint Joseph), who scored an 1,140 in the women's compound competition. Lorenti tied Jessica Grant of Texas A&M in the regulation shoot, but Grant shot one more bull's eye to claim the second-place finish.
