Connor Alvarez
Equipment Manager

Year: 4th
Major: Sociology
Minor: Social Data Science
Division: Fixed-Pin/Bowhunter

Hey! I’m Connor and I’ll be the equipment manager for the upcoming 2026-2027 year. I’m a fourth year student but I’ve been doing archery for seven years as a 3D target archer. I love exploring new hobbies, but for now those include cafe hopping, rock climbing, archery, skiing, biking, listening to music, home design, visiting museums, collecting vinyls and cassettes, watching film premieres, and ice skating. Coming into UCLA from the east coast was challenging because I didn’t know anybody here, but the archery club helped me acquaint myself with some of my closest friends here at UCLA. I’m happy to see more and more returning members from this year’s archery fest and I’m hoping to interact and see more people join our club this upcoming year.

Ryan Huynh
Equipment Manager

Year: 3rd
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Division: Olympic Recurve

Hi, my name is Ryan and I am a third year majoring in Mechanical Engineering here at UCLA. Outside archery, I enjoy hiking, camping, mountain biking, and robotic designing. Although I’ve only done archery at this level for 2 years, if there’s one thing I know, it’s how to get the best equipment for your budget. I love archery, and I just want to show you all that with a little time, resourcefulness, and tinkering, you don’t have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to enjoy the sport as much as I do. Please reach out for anything!
