OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA . . . Scholastic Clay Target Program participants Patrick McCann, 15, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, won gold, Ryan Kackley, 16, of Byesville, Ohio, was awarded silver and 16-year-old Sam Lutz of Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, has taken the bronze in trap at this year?s Junior Olympic Development Camp. The camp, which allows young shooters to be “scouted” by legendary Olympic shooting coach Lloyd Woodhouse, concluded September 19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Only 13 participants were selected to attend through an application and interview process. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, through its Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) that?s been introducing youths into competitive shooting for four years, selected camp attendees and co-sponsored a portion of the costs. USA Shooting was a major partner. SCTP is one of only a few avenues through which young shooters may experience Olympic-class shotgun training
