LINCOLN, Neb. – A group of 20 Bulldogs represented Concordia University shooting sports at the Doane Invitational held March 7-8 at the Lincoln Trap & Skeet Club in Lincoln, Neb. Among the biggest highlights, sophomore Nicole Breese placed as the event’s high overall (HOA) female competitor and sophomore Colten Uitermarkt cracked all 100 targets in the discipline of skeet. Shooters from 12 different institutions tested their skills in sporting clays, skeet, trap and trap doubles.
The event marked the final one before head coach Scott Moniot’s squad will travel to San Antonio, Texas for the ACUI National Championships later this month.
In terms of HOA, the top five Bulldog shooters at the Doane Invite were sophomore Wyatt Hambly (357), sophomore Russell Malterud (349), Breese, sophomore Tommy Sosso (334) and junior Mack Origer (331) (see full list below).
