EVA TRONCOSO
August 1935-
TOURNAMENT CHAMPION

Born in August 1935 in Los Angeles. First interest in Archery started in 1956 after marrying Freddie Troncoso. However, it wasn't until 1972 that Eva began shooting at a level of competition that allowed her to win 14 major and numerous local tournaments. From 1972 to 1976 Eva participated in 136 tournaments, winning first place in 131, placing second or third in the remaining five.

In 1973, Eva joined the professional division of the NFAA and in every way brought the term professional to mean something in archery. She was not only known as a competitor, but as a gracious lady who was never too busy to smile and say hello. Shooting freestyle first with a recurve then a compound using a release, Eva's record of victories from 1972 to 1976 clearly demonstrates her domination of the sport during this period.
