Three archers from C.D. Arqueros Benavente have cleared the qualification threshold for the Spanish Indoor Archery Championship during the opening round of the regional unified indoor ranking, local sports reports show. Competing at the Ciudad  Sports Complex in Valladolid, the club’s traditional archery competitors hit the required scores on their first opportunity of the season.

Valladolid Opener Sets Early Standard

Four athletes traveled from Benavente to contest the discipline in Valladolid at an event organized by the Archery Federation of Castile and León alongside Arco Club Valladolid. They joined 75 other competitors from across the region on the tournament line. While the club secured three spots for the national tournament, entrants must still appear at three total ranking events to validate their entry. Sara Herrero led the regional contingent by claiming first place in the women’s traditional division with 467 points, building a wide margin over second-place Rosa María Berjano of Arqueros de Navaluenga, who finished with 341 points. Local shooter María Díez followed in third with 312 points.
