On Friday, May 15th, the Lansing Youth Trap held their 4th annual memorial tournament, in memory of Marc Stout, John Wayne Orr, James Reinhart, and Mark Welch. Schools represented, with nearly 50 trap shooters, were: Corning Painted Post, Watkins Glen, Montour Falls, Trumansburg, Moravia, Marathon, and Lansing. It was a great afternoon of fun with raffle baskets, a pulled pork dinner, and lots of catching up for everyone, recognition of our seniors, but most importantly safe firearm handling demonstrated by all the kids involved.
In the novice class 3rd place went to Brandon A. of Lansing, 2nd place to Ben W. of Trumansburg, and 1st place to Natalie P. of Moravia. In the JV class 3rd place went to Owen B. of Watkins Glen, 2nd place to Wesley M. of Trumansburg, and 1st place to Carter B. of Moravia. In the Varsity class 3rd place went to Auhtumn B. of Lansing, 2nd place to Gaven W. of Corning Painted Post, and 1st place to Jackson M. Of Lansing. Best wishes to everyone at the state tournament in early June.
A special thank you to all of the parents, volunteers from the Lansing Rod and Gun Club, Tompkins County Fish and Game Club and the kids who helped refill the trap houses. Without everyone who stepped up, this event would not have been possible. We are looking forward to hosting our 5th annual tournament next mid-May of 2027.
