OLIVE HILL —
West Carter senior Shannon Coleman has signed on to be part of the University of the Cumberlands archery program next fall.
Coleman was on the first-ever West Carter archery team in 2009.
Coleman said Cumberlands was an easy pick for a college destination.
“Choosing a school to attend was proving itself to be a very difficult task for me until God opened some doors at the Cumberlands,” Coleman said. “God has blessed me with this opportunity to shine His light with my skills and I can’t wait to see what He has in store for me at the University of the Cumberlands.”
Said UC archery coach Kris Strebeck: “Shannon makes a great addition to the archery team as a student and athlete.”
The Patriots will be competing in the National Outdoor Championships this May.
