Mason, Mich. — Woodrow Glazer from New Prague High School in Minnesota took home the national championship title at the USA High School Clay Target League’s inaugural national championship on Sunday, July 15 in Mason, Mich.
Glazer shot a perfect 200×200 over the course of the individual championship, in which nearly 1,400 other competitors registered. The high-school junior held out against two other perfect shooters in a shoot-off to claim the crown.
St. Michael-Albertville High School – also from Minnesota – claimed the national team championship. The five-person team hit a total of 968 targets out of 1000, to beat 175 other teams over the course of the event.
The 2018 USA High School Clay Target League National Championship is presented by NRA Sports and sponsored by the Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, Scheels, and Mark Zauhar.
Over 2,000 student athletes converged on Mason July 12-15, to take part in the national championship. More than 5,000 spectators also attended to watch the competition and cheer on their school’s representatives during the event, which also featured exhibitors, concessions, and a concert last Thursday by country music artist Lucas Hoge
