Wichita, KS – 710 students from 39 Kansas high school teams are participating the 2017 Kansas State High School Clay Target League’s (KSSHSCTL) spring trap shooting season, which began March 19th. The number of schools and participants is double that of 2016, when 328 students participated on 19 teams.
“We are very pleased with the growth of clay target shooting as an activity for Kansas high school athletes,” said Jim Sable, Executive Director of the KSSHSCTL, “such high participation growth shows the demand for alternative high school activities related to Kansas’ 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 3rd and 4th at the Ark Valley Gun Club in Valley Center.
Conferences are determined by team size. This year competing teams have been divided into six conferences spanning two classes. Classes determine shooting days at the 2017 Kansas State Tournament, which has been expanded to two days this year.
