Over 230 student athletes from 24 states have been named to the team this year and will be recognized at the opening ceremonies of the SSSF/SCTP/SASP Team Championship event on July 17 in Marengo, Ohio.
The All-Scholastic Team recognizes the top student athletes in the SSSF’s Scholastic Clay Target and Scholastic Action Shooting Program for their achievements in the classroom, on the range and in their communities. Through an application process, 2019 All-Scholastic Team Members have proven academic excellence by posting 3.0 or better grade point averages, shooting excellent scores in recent competition (95% in trap or skeet, 85% in sporting clays, 88% in international trap/skeet or 75 seconds or less for SASP) and by demonstrating outstanding community involvement.
Lakewood Products, a Division of Midwest Textile Manufacturing Corporation and the leader in shooting, hunting, and fishing protective cases, proudly announces the company’s support of the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).
As steadfast believers in maintaining options for America’s youth to participate in the shooting sports, Lakewood Products is proud to announce their support of the SSSF and the SCTP. The SCTP’s mission of providing youth from elementary grades through high school and college the opportunity to experience the fun and challenges of the Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays marries well with Lakewood’s product line and business ethos of supporting shooting sports. “We believe in the shooting sports and our youth’s participation, as such. The format that the SSSF and SCTP provides is an excellent opportunity for today’s young people to gain experience in shooting and an exceptional pathway to various specialties in competitive arenas,” stated Lakewood Products’ President, Steve Wagnitz.
By providing young athletes a forum to safely and enjoyably participate in a high quality, team-based sports program, each of the SCTP’s exciting disciplines are led by trained and dedicated adult coaches in a supportive environment focused on the safe handling and use of firearms. “What a better way to get kids involved in shooting than to have them bust clay targets in a safe and structured environment that lacks the additional pressure of hunting and other common barriers to entry. It starts out with having fun and opens the pathway to see what’s next – with tracks that can potentially lead to Olympic-level competition,” Wagnitz added.
Lakewood Products 2019 product introductions included the B136 Takedown Shotgun case, a perfect fit for the needs of participants in shotgun-related shooting sports.
