Colome students compete in shooting sports by Ashlyn Hoffine
    There are three Colome High School
students who are on the Winner/Colome
trap team. These students include Jack
Anderson, Jesse Larson, and Katie Welk-
er.
   The spring league began in May for the
Winner/Colome high school trap team.
Katie Welker finished top female in the
state and second overall. The team fin-
ished first in their conference. The spring
league ended in June. There was no state
tournament this year due to COVID.
  Last year Larson shot at the High School
Nationals. He had hoped to compete at
that level again but just missed qualifying
by one.
    The fall league began in October. As
a team they ended up first place in their
conference. Jack Anderson placed in the
top 10, and Welker was the top female
and second overall. The fall league ended
in November.
  Katie Welker said, “I started when I was
8 years old. I started doing it because my
dad and brothers did it when they were
younger.”
    Jack Anderson said, “I started doing
shooting sports because my cousin did it
when he was younger.”
    Jesse Larson said, “I got into shooting
sports because I always liked shooting
guns on my family’s farm/ranch.”                   Above: The Colome High School students who shoot on the Winner/Colome trap team include
