The second Eastern Cornhusker Trapshooting Conference (ECTC) event of the spring brought with it more Blair Youth Shooting Sports (BYSS) success.
Dalton Nielsen, Dalton D. Nielsen, Andrew Browning, Zach Raymond and Skyler Puffer combined as the the high overall 16-yard team last Saturday in the Senior Division. Junior marksmen Kalvin Kies, Jake Vanek, Harry Kies, Johnny Henton and Colton Nixon also earned high overall honors in their shoot.
Kalvin Kies claimed first among all junior trapshooters, while Harry Kies was third overall. Jaydyn Backman, meanwhile, was sixth in the female division, according to an online BYSS post.
Arlington talent earns top finishes
The Fremont trapshooting squad is filled with Arlington talent this spring.
Blake Japp, Lane Johannes, Lily Stonehocker, Jake Bartosh, Kole Dowling, Connor Flesner, Alaina Schwedhelm, Kayla Schwedhelm, Cade Arnett and Sam Arnett are among the Senior Division competitors, while Wyatt Widman, Tate Johannes and Wyatt Flesner are on the Junior team.
During their first shoot of the season March 13 in Omaha, Arlington High School student Cade Arnett claimed first-place honors in the high individual handicap event, hitting 48 of his 50 targets with shotgun blasts. Bartosh, Johannes and Arnett were also members of the first-place handicap team championships.
Dowling, meanwhile, was a member of the second-place Fremont team — which also included Fort Calhoun's Kaitlin Smith — competing in the 16-yard team event.
Fremont results from the second ECTC shoot last weekend were unavailable as of press time, but the trapshooting season continues through the April 24th Gayle Hanshaw All-Conference Shoot in Lincoln.
