"We had a great week in Las Vegas at the Clark County Shooting Complex. I am very proud of our team and the way they handled themselves during this competition. We had several students shoot their personal best in multiple events and across the board we shot well as a team. We are all so proud of Austin for bringing home the Trap Doubles Champion hardware! It's always rewarding to watch our students encourage each other on the field and keep each other focused during an event. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to coach these athletes and I wish nothing but the best for them in their future," stated Coach Nathan Hammock.
