Rick is one of us. He saw the many archers on television and in video games and always wanted to try archery growing up. When he passed by Library Walk in his freshman year of college and saw that SGA was offering free workshops, he, like many of us, just could not resist the call and quickly fell in love with both the sport and the community.

For the 3 years Rick has been shooting with SGA, he was one of the few representing the Fixed Pin division on the team. In 2025, he earned Bronze in Fixed Pins Teams at the 2025 SIACC Championships. In 2026, he inspired many new members to join him on Fixed Pin and became a contender for the Gold medal at the 2026 Championships. Leading a passionate new team, he brought home the two bronze medals and a silver medal for SIACC team events, contributing greatly to UCSD's first team win in seven years.

But as far as competitions go, Rick says that his favorite had to be the 2026 Vegas Shoot. The partying and spectacular venues were memorable indeed, but ultimately, everything is more fun with friends. Friends made the Vegas Shoot, and friends made 2026 SIACC. Never forgetting his relationships, Rick says his favorite part of archery is the collegiate archery community, especially within SGA. As Rick continues to pursue his studies in a graduate health program, he hopes to continue shooting, even after he has low-key switched to recurve, dangit. We'll remember this, just as he remembers us.
