South Dakota – 515 students from 21 South Dakota high school teams are participating in the South Dakota State High School Clay Target League’s (SDSHSCTL) 2017 spring trap shooting season, which began April 2nd. Last year there were 211 students on 7 teams.
“We are very pleased with the growth of clay target shooting as an activity for South Dakota high school athletes,” said Jim Sable, Executive Director of the SDSHSCTL, “such high participation growth shows the demand for alternative high school activities related to South Dakota’ longstanding outdoor traditions.”
Upon completion of the Spring League, all student athletes are invited to participate in individual and team competitions at the 2017 State Tournament. The event is scheduled for June 10th at the Aberdeen Gun Club.
Conferences are determined by team size. This year, the 21 competing teams have been divided into 4 conferences.
