The Elm Fork Select Shooting Team, which includes Lake Highlands High School students Allyn Willis, Jackson Amick and Shaeffer Lott, has won the 2017 national championship. The team participated in the annual USAYESS (Youth Education in Shooting Sports) competition in San Antonio June 25th, where they swept every team event.
At last year’s competition, Willis earned the individual title – a high honor considering she hadn’t yet entered high school. This year’s individual champs were Elm Fork teammates Haylyn Hanks and Clay Robertson.
USAYESS works to encourage shooting sports and wildlife conservation and to educate young people and their families about safe firearm handling, competitive shooting and outdoor conservation activities.
Congratulation, Wildcats!
