Angela Ruiz and Matias Grande took the top recurve seeds in qualification at the Merida Indoor World Series tournament. Ruiz scored 590, including 52 tens, to finish one point ahead of Catalina Gnoriega in the women’s competition.

Grande led recurve men with 594 and 54 tens. Jean-Charles Valladont followed on 591. In compound women, Alexis Ruiz secured the leading seed with 595, ahead of world number one Andrea Becerra. Ajay Scott and Mathias Fullerton both scored 599 in compound men, with Scott seeded first.

The Mexican tournament was the circuit’s only 500-point stop before Las Vegas and used the new competition format. Qualification established the brackets for eliminations and the medal finals, providing a separate milestone ahead of the weekend’s title matches.
