Then and Now: Archery

Then: Wellesley has had an archery team since at least 1910, when archery was part of the Department of Hygiene, later the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education. These archers practicing in front of College Hall used longbows and wooden arrows.

Now: Wellesley’s modern archery squad thrives as a club sport (with archery still a P.E. option too). Team members compete in regional tournaments with Olympic recurve bows and carbon fiber arrows.
