The Juneau Trap Shooting Team returned home from the Alaska Education in Shooting Sports (YESS) State Championships with a number of first-place finishes.

The competition brought together 19 trap shooting teams from around the state to compete at the Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park in Chugiak.

In the Novice (elementary school) division, Trygve Hermann turned in the second-highest combined score in the three main events: trap shooting, skeet shooting and sporting clays. Hermann tallied 185 total points and was first overall in the trap contest.

Hermann and teammate Cayden Brenner came in first and second respectively in the trap triumphant. The trap triumphant combines a shooter’s scores in the trap, wobble and doubles event. It took two shootouts in order to decide the winner.

“That was really cool because they’re fifth graders, little guys, and there were 150 people watching them,” coach Mark Kappler said.

Renne Win, who shot in the senior varsity lady division, compiled 187 points in the three main events and finished in sixth place. Like Herman, Win was first in her division in the trap triumphant.

The Juneau team of Garret Hermann, Brice Norton and Win were named team champions trap triumphant.

Norton finished in 15th place overall in the senior varsity men division for the main events. Harrison Holt and Jager Hunt came in 12th and 14th place respectively in the main events for junior men.

“As a team they shot really well considering the pressure,” Kappler said.
