The Southwest Trap Team competed at the Paul Larson Memorial High School State Shoot in Linn Creek on Saturday, April 17.
Over 250 squads of trapshooters between the ages of ten and 18 came out to compete on a cold and overcast Saturday. Southwest brought two full squads and one partial squad to the competition. They all did well, with several shooting their best scores of the year. Middle school team member Bailey Stephens shot her first 25 straight.
The team will be celebrating her accomplishment by shooting her hat at their next practice.
The middle school squad placed third in the state with a score of 403/500.
The high school squad came up just short of a medal this year with a score of 422/500.
“We have 15 good shooters this year, and it will be tough competition for them throughout the rest of the season,” said Coach Mike Vining.
Coaches Vining, Larry Hicks and Staci Day are excited to see the improvement each shooter has made so far this season.
The shooters are looking forward to the next AIM state shoot in June.
