Breahna 'Hayden' Catron

We had some friends drive down from Jeff City to shoot, deliver an award for Hayden, and to hang out for a while before going home. The girls chatted it up and took silly selfies.

Getting ready for the National JOAD Indoor Championship in Aggieland!!!

Go Ms. Hayden!!!!!

Back at it🏹. Training for upcoming Nationals in Texas next weekend. Thank you to her coach, Janis Grellner!!

FINALLY back at it after a 10+ week hiatus for her broken finger to heal (volleyball). She had an really great training session and it was so nice seeing her coach again!!

Next week indoor state championship and entertaining indoor nationals. We shall see.
Check out the article of her coach, Janis. It is a really good one!!!

JOAD National Championship Day #4: Elimination Rounds (sorry for the delay, we drove back right after the competition, got home, and passed out)!!
This is a fun day of competition with the same group that had been competing seriously over the past few days. While this is still intense competition (which included one arrow shoot outs) the archers were joking, giving each other fist bumps, and having fun being social and doing what they do. Needless to say, Hayden did a great job!!She earned another bronze medal🥉!!
Hayden took off to the lake before I could get a pic of both of the medals but it will be posted tomorrow when she gets back.
So proud of Hayden and all of the girls shooting. She has been BEAMING💙🏹🥉

JOAD National Championship results🏹: 3rd Place--BRONZE BABY!!!!

JOAD National Championship Day #3: It started really late due to weather delays (like over 2 hours late) but it ended up being a great day! Hayden shot really well and has been all smiles. She made new and lasting friendships with kids from all over💙 They are already snap chatting and talking about future tournaments🤣 Waiting on the results. It's a close one!!

JOAD National Championship Day #2🏹. Hayden did good🙏🏻. She is happy with her performance and knows where she needs to make her adjustments. She is making friends and memories with kids all over the U.S. It is beautiful💜There was a bit of rain, it got hot, and the fields were soaking wet but what a day!

JOAD Nationals Day #1: equipment check and practice, which is particularly important due to shooting in the rain. Needless to say, she has met and has been chatting it up with some of the other shooters. Just blessed to be here and that she is having a good time.
Making memories!!!

Looking forward to seeing her teammate, Anna and her family, later on today.
