NEW YORK - Three Columbia archers earned a spot on the All-East team for the 2010 season.  Sarah Chai and Anna Harrington each earned the honor for the second consecutive year, while Sara Goshorn earned a spot for the third time in her career.

The All-East team is decided by an archer's score in three major tournaments: US Indoor National East Regional, Adam Wheatcroft Invitational, and the Eastern Regional Intercollegiate Archery Championships (ERIAC). 

Making the honor even more impressive is the fact that the Columbia shooters only competed in two of the three events, yet still ranked among the best in the region.  Columbia competed at the U.S. Indoor National East Regional March 13-14 and the ERIAC on April 24-25, but was unable to compete at the Adam Wheatcroft Invitational.

This season Chai ranked third in the East after shooting a 545 at the Indoor East Regional and a 1098 at the ERIAC this past weekend for a combined total of 1643. Last year as a first-year, Chai finished fifth in the region to earn All-East honors.

Just behind Chai was Goshorn who ranked fourth overall.  The senior sharp-shooter fired a 558 at the Indoor East Regional and a 1064 at the ERIAC for a total of 1622.  Goshorn  finished third in the region last season, and fourth in 2008 as a sophomore.

The Lions' final representative on the recurve All-East team was Harrington.  The sophomore combined for a total of  1602 after shooting 524 and 1078 at the two qualifying tournaments.  Last season Harrington finished second in the region as a first-year.

Columbia will next compete at the United States Intercollegiate Archery Championships (USIAC) on May 13-16 in Long Beach, Calif.
