The six members of Dayton's FFA Trap Team, High School students Byron Collier, Andrew Wertz, and Sawyer Brenner; and Middle School members Luke Collier, Lyam Donohue, and Rozlyn Magill, participated in the Washington State FFA Trap Shooting Invitational on April 19-20. Trap teams are generally comprised of high school aged members only. However, Dayton's team has three middle school members which provides a great opportunity to advance. The young team participated well coming in tied for sixth place with a score of 332. Byron Collier placed 5th in the state for the "Miss n' Out" game.
"Trap shooting requires the shooter to shoot at a target after he or she calls "pull," said FFA Advisor and Agriculture Instructor. "Points are awarded when the participant hits the target, whether it shatters or only a small portion of it is broken at which point the target is considered a "dead" or "lost" bird. This is a great start for this young team and we look forward to what next year holds!"
