The Crookston High School Clay Target Team had 14 students go to Greenbush to shoot in the Gator Blast invitational. Crookston finished 13th out of 14 teams while shooting a 192. Roseau won the competition with a 227, one better than Badger/Greenbush-Middle River. Crookston was led by Jayde Uttermark who shot a 42 out of 50 getting her to be tied for 4th for top female and Austin Thode who shot 39 out of 50.
“The first round of 25 the team seemed really stiff and nervous with quite a few missed targets. I was hoping that after a little break and getting some lunch we all would loosen up and pick up a few more birds,” said Coach Randy Prudhomme. “The team did loosen up but the birds just weren’t breaking. With this being a larger tournament and closer to the state tournament, I hope the students got rid of their tournament jitters at this tournament and work on concentrating only on the next target. We head to state on June 12th.”
