In May, Louisville welcomes 14,000 visitors. They are boys and girls from 47 states, bows in hand, for the National Archery in the Schools Program national championship. But the route to the Kentucky Expo Center isn't easy from Prince of Wales Island. This week, we go inside archery with John and James Stevens - the father/son NASP® team coaches from Southeast Island School District in the inside passage of Alaska. Boat rides, fog, ferries, buses, planes, 36 hours, plus lots of fundraising are just part of what it takes to make the trip. But it wasn't enough to keep one girl from going home a champion.
