We couldn’t be prouder of our USJ Sport Shooting Team’s performances over the last two days at the ATA AIM State Championship!

A special shout-out to Trace Hayes for taking 3rd place in Doubles Trap, and to Skylar Stanfield for winning Ladies HOA overall ages, 1st in Extended Yard Line Sub-Junior, and 3rd in Singles Trap Sub-Junior.

We are so proud of the entire team! Next stop, the state tournament.
