The Hays High Trap Team traveled to Wichita during the weekend to participate in the Kansas State High School Clay Target League Trap Tournament.
Chase Wittman of Hays High was the top varsity female shooter in class 2A and took third place for her season average.
It was an eventful weekend to say the least! The team had a nice afternoon trip down to Wichita followed by some shopping, a big supper, and some fun and games. And just like that, after the team called it a day, the tornado sirens go off at 11:30 Saturday night. The team gathered in the lobby and waited out the storm before trying to get some sleep before their big day.
Sunday morning was all business for the team. They shot some practice rounds and were ready to get things going. HHS' six squads started shooting for scores at 9:30 a.m. It was cool and breezy at first, something the HHS squads are used to dealing with. The squads might have been a little sluggish out of the starting blocks but for the most part, the team seemed to improve as the day went on.
The great news came at the end of the day during the awards ceremony. That’s when the squads found out they had a state champion amongst them.
Below is a list of students who ended the day on the leaderboards. The number in parentheses is where they placed. The number behind the name is their score followed by the reverse run, which is used to break a tie.
