Nick Zuerlein of Omaha Creighton Prep won the Cornhusker Cup on Saturday as the overall champion in the 43rd Cornhusker Trapshoot.
Zuerlein shot 192X200 over two days and led the Creighton Prep Blue squad to the overall team title, as well. The team, which shot 940X1,000, also includes Ryan Glow, Andrew Pavlic, James Vasko and Brandon Metzler.
“We’re shooting for team medals,” Zuerlein said. “Individual titles are just icing on the cake. It’s more about shooting with friends I have shot with for so many years and having a good time.”
Zuerlein spoiled Cody Newlun’s bid to repeat as the overall champion. Newlun, shooting for Hastings 4-H No. 1, took second place at 191X200 after defeating teammate Adam Florian in a shoot-off.
Cory Sorahan of Grand Island High won the girls’ overall championship after shooting a 188X200.
The Omaha Marian Blue team captured the overall girls’ team title, shooting an 859X1,000. Team members are Kelsey Genoways, Savannah Uden, Lori Nevole, Maddie Worth and Anna Vasko.
The Hastings No. 1 team of Newlun, Florian, Zach VanBoening, Cole Fisher and Marcus Long shot an 859X1,000 to win the 4-H team championship.
There were 1,273 shooters competing in the senior high division Friday and Saturday at the home grounds of the Nebraska Trapshooting Association (NTA). The event is hosted by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the NTA.
