Outstanding Results for Dio Athlete at National Archery Championships
Ashley Zu (Year 9) recently competed at the 82nd New Zealand Outdoor Archery Nationals, where Auckland’s typically unsettled mid-summer weather proved challenging.

Undeterred, Ashley delivered an outstanding performance, achieving:

  • Gold — U18 Barebow Women 720 (50m)

  • Gold — U18 Barebow Women Individual Matchplay

  • Overall U18 Barebow Champion

Ashley was also recognised with a special honour, being selected to represent New Zealand at the 2025 Trans Tasman Challenge.

Competing in the New Zealand vs Australia event held in Christchurch in September 2025, Ashley delivered outstanding results, winning:

  • Gold — Barebow Open Female WA 720

  • Gold — Open Barebow 2-Person Matchplay

  • Bronze — Barebow Open Female Individual Matchplay

Congratulations, Ashley, on these remarkable achievements.
