School has launched in most corners of the state for 2024-25, but we still have some impressive charter school news to share from the summer. Makenzie Glenn, a junior at Pinnacle Classical Academy in Shelby, has won a national archery championship. The competition took place in Colorado at the end of July.  Congratulations on your accomplishment, Makenzie!  

Pinnacle is no stranger to archery accolades, having won or placed at the national level before. In fact, Makenzie won the national championship last year as well–and the Pinnacle Thunderbirds came in third overall.

Pinnacle sent out a press release about Makenzie’s accomplishment, and we include it below:

Makenzie Glenn, a rising junior at Pinnacle Classical Academy, won a national championship in archery at the Western 3D & Outdoor Target National Championship.

The competition, organized by Scholastic 3-D Archery, took place in New Castle, Colorado, from July 26 to 28. Makenzie won the national title in the Young Adult Female Pins 3D Archery category and finished in third place in the Young Adult Female Outdoor Target category.

“We are so proud of Makenzie for her amazing accomplishment, the result of years of hard work and perseverance,” said Dr. Shelly Shope, the school’s headmaster.

“Five of our graduates in recent years have been awarded archery scholarships that have made college significantly more affordable,” Dr. Shope added. “We are grateful for the work of our coach, Todd Tongel, and for all the support shown by our archery team families.”
