GLENN DALE, MARYLAND — Washington College's trap and skeet team won the team High Overall title at the Upper East Coast Conference Championships, breaking 1,939 of 2,250 targets and finishing 433 ahead of second-place Maryland, according to the college.
The ACUI/SCTP event ran Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 at Prince George's County Trap and Skeet Center. It also sets each shooter's classification for the national championships in San Antonio in March.
"To win a 5th consecutive Conference Championship HOA in 5 years is surreal and I could not be more proud of the team and what they accomplished this weekend," head coach Doug Pfaff '10 said.
Freshman Ethan Kimmins took first on the individual High Overall podium with 402 of 450. Freshman Cole Coppage was third with 391 of 450, and senior Gracie Heintzelman broke 370 of 450.
Washington College ranked first as a team in four of the six events. It broke 218 of 250 in doubles skeet, where Kimmins won with 48, and 200 of 250 in doubles trap. In American skeet it broke 477 of 500 and, for the first time at this event, beat Army's 467. Freshman Emory Moore won Super Sporting with 44 of 50, helping the team to 211 of 250.
The team was third in sporting clays, at 393 behind Virginia Tech's 419 and Army's 397, and fourth in American trap at 440, 23 behind Army.
Washington College's next shoot is the Lower East Coast Conference Championships in Savannah, Georgia, in the spring.
Five straight, and the next one is in Savannah.
