🌟 Fantastic 4-H'er Friday: Chloe DeFrees! 🌟

We're very proud to put this 4-H'er in the spotlight, because she is always quietly doing incredible things... and it's time to make some noise about it!!

Chloe is one of our Aiken County 4-H Aiken Archers, and this season she worked diligently to be eligible to travel to the NASP Eastern Nationals in Louisville, KY. She shot a personal best score of 278 in 3D and earned herself a spot at the NASP National Championship in Daytona, FL! WOW! 🤩

She didn't just show up to Nationals — she competed her heart out on the biggest stage in the sport, ranking in the TOP 10% out of 1,100 female competitors in her Middle School Division. For her first time at Nationals!! We could not be more proud of her hard work and everything she put in to make it happen. And she's not done! 🎯 Chloe will also be competing at the IBO World Championship in West Virginia this August!

But archery is just one window into who Chloe is. She is smart, kind, and hardworking in the truest sense. She effortlessly leads her club in service projects like restoring a blessing box near their practice location, visiting Pinckney leadership programs, welcoming new 4-H'ers with a smile, and representing 4-H at the Tractor Supply grand opening in Aiken. She handles success, challenge, and change with a grace that inspires everyone around her to be better.

And behind every great 4-H'er is a great support system. Chloe's parents — and the Aiken Archers' coaches — Melissa and Glenn DeFrees built this club from the ground up. Facility, equipment, recruiting, practice culture -- they developed it ALL. What they've created is what sociologists call a "third place" — somewhere outside of home and school where people feel genuinely welcomed and proud to belong. You feel it the moment you walk into a practice.

Chloe, you are a competitor, a servant leader, and one of our absolute favorites. We can't wait to see what you do next. 💚🏹
