The Junior Olympic program for USA Shooting can often be the beginning of the Olympic journey.
For four participants in the Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program, it’s the opportunity they’ve been working toward.
Grant Dorris of Henderson County 4-H, Trey Hill of Middle Tennessee Christian School in Mufreesboro, and Hannah Houston and William Stewart from Maury County have been selected to receive the support, assistance and coaching needed to advance through the ranks of competitive shotgun shooting.
“The talent pool has strengthened over the past year, and the competition was steep,” said Team USA National Shotgun Coach Bret Erickson, a four-time Olympian.
“We’re happy to acknowledge this group of young kids in hopes that they’ll gain the confidence and maturity necessary to be elite-level shooters in our program down the road.”
The team is comprised of nine trap, nine skeet and four double trap shooters.
