Results
Team scores were calculated across all non-compound archers and across the WA720, H2H and WA900.
Warwick won the men's team event and Oxford won the women's team event. This is the same combination of teams who won the BUCS Indoor team titles this year. Warwick have now won the men's team BUCS Outdoor title three times in the last four years. Oxford repeat their women's team BUCS double from 2015. On the gents team side, Manchester were second - the latest in a long line of Manchester results this season that have smashed their previous bests. This result ties Manchester's best ever finish at a UK-wide student event - set over 40 years ago at the Indoor Championships of 1981 and 1983. Loughborough were second ladies team - the fourth time in a row they have won women's team medals at BUCS Outdoors. The respective defending champions from 12 months ago Sheffield (men's) and Nottingham (women's) both won team bronze this time around. Nottingham were also fourth place on the gents side, whilst Reading wrapped up fourth spot on the women's side. Like Manchester, Reading tied their best ever result at a national event - 4th spot at BUTC 2010. 5th to 8th ladies teams were Leicester, Southampton, Bristol and York. 5th to 8th on the gents side were Southampton, Lancaster, Birmingham and Bristol. Leicester's fifth place ladies team is their best result at this event ever. Lancaster's sixth placed gents team is their best at Lilleshall since 2016. There were 14 men's teams and 11 women's - both slightly up on last year.
In the novice team category, Warwick were first, defending their title from last year. Birmingham were second, with Liverpool grabbing third ahead of Loughborough and Nottingham. There were 14 complete novice teams of 3 - exactly double the number from last year.
Top compound team was Edinburgh, again defending their title, with Loughborough in second. There were 7 compound teams of 2 in total.
Cheung Sum Hin (Sheffield) won the BUCS Outdoors gents recurve title with a clean sweep of WA70, H2H and WA900 to end on a perfect score of 3 - the is the second year in a row he has accomplished this feat. Callum Piggott (Coventry) was runner up overall on 8, with Wills Chiu (Warwick) third on 10. Chiu finished second in both ranking rounds with Piggott third, but Piggott's runners up spot in the H2H saw him claim individual outdoor silver to go with his indoor gold. Chiu won bronze indoors and out. Will Oakes (Keele) scored 14 over the weekend and took the last individual gent recurve BUCS point. Mykhailo Pavlov (Dundee), Alex Williams (Bristol) and Shane Pothunnah (Warwick) led the chasing pack, with Conor Nolan (Loughborough) and Jack Wells (Sheffield).
Also winning with a clean sweep was new BUCS Outdoors ladies champion Ecaterina Pogorenii (Oxford). Pogorenii has won 5 BUCS team medals of various colours, but this gold was her first individual one. Behind Pogorenii's perfect score of 3, Jennifer Collins (Wolverhampton) won a clean sweep of silvers and ended on 6 points. Collins takes home Wolverhampton's first ever BUCS medal of any kind. Behind the top two Emma Howes (Oxford) took third place and bronze with 16 points, with Hannah Evans (Nottingham) in fourth, securing the last BUCS point with 19. Fifth down to ninth was all very close with Magdalena Kazmierczak (Bristol) followed by Sienna Foster (Bangor) then Eliza Tully (Reading), Alice Haskell (Leicester) and Julianna Ostrovska (RHU).
Top compounds were Hallie Boulton (UCLan) and Finlay Clark (Hull) on 3 and 4 respectively. Yu Chak Ngai (Coventry) and XiangKun Kong (Edinburgh) were second and third gent, both on 8 with the H2H bronze match between the pair (and won by Ngai) effectively the decider. Faye Balcombe (Leicester) was clear in second in the ladies on 6, ahead of Alex Chun (St Andrews). Gents barebow was very close with Wenze Jiang (Manchester) winning with 7. Myfanwy Fflur (Manchester) and Luka Gillingham (Surrey) both finished on 8. Sharon Pisani (St Andrews) won ladies barebow, with Marilyn Wong (Plymouth) in second - upgrading her bronze from last year - and Eva Jessen (Nottingham) third. Jago Elliott (Nottingham) and Helen Woodcock (MMU) won the longbow titles.
In novice recurve, both gents and ladies winners won clean sweeps. Qingyang Li (Manchester) and Wiebke von Abel (Birmingham) took the honours. Edward Lowe (St Andrews) and Jess Wrona (Nottingham) were second with Nathan Haine (Sheffield) and Imogen Bartin (Warwick) in third. The winning novice compounds were Lucas Yau (Loughborough) and Bridey Simpson (St Andrews). Top novice gent barebows were Meron Tesfu (MMU) and Josuf Hyseni (Birmingham) both on 8 points with Jake Woolley (Warwick) on 9. Tesfu winning the H2H was just enough to take him to overall gold, after Hyseni had won both the 50m ranking round and WA900. Leah McGloin (UWS) won novice ladies barebow, with Roxana Atack (Liverpool) in second. Toby Perks (Warwick) and Cizzie McGuinness (Dundee) won novice longbow categories.
