Gateway-Clay-Busters from Defiance dominated high scores.
LINN CREEK, Mo -- More than 75,000 shots rang out from the Missouri Trap Shooters Association home grounds at
51 Trapshooters Road in
Linn Creek on April 28 for the 25th annual Missouri FFA and High School
Trap Championship. More than 750 students from all over the state
participated
in the event.
The Missouri
Department of Conservation (MDC) cosponsors the championship and more
than 40 staff helped with scoring at the event.
“The weather turned
out to be nice day so we saw several very high scores,” said MDC
Education Outreach Coordinator Eric Edwards, who helped with scoring.
“We even had to have a shoot off to decide placement
in some divisions because of all the 99- and 98-out-of-100 scores.”
The overall high
score went to Austin Harris of Gateway-Clay-Busters from Defiance with a
perfect score of 100 out of 100. Top honors for Ladies division went to
Samantha Foppe of Team Henges from High Ridge
with a score of 98 out of 100. Rebekah Lowen, Emily Hampson, Tricia
Cook, Torie Beckmann and Katy Stecker of Gateway Clay-Busters took team
overall high score for Ladies with 441 out of 500. High school division
champs were Corey Green, Joseph Mace, Tyler
Schulte, Zach Schmitz and Kurt Grote of Gateway Clay-Busters with a
team score of 487 out of 500.
“Some of these kids
are multi-sport athletes, but for many of them, this is their passion,”
said Edwards. “I talked to one young lady who just returned from
shooting in a tournament in Florida. It’s how she
spent her spring break! These outstanding youth, along with their
dedicated coaches, show that not only is Missouri a great place to hunt
and fish, but a great place to enjoy the shooting sports too!
