At their final practice session, seniors Avery McConnell, Michael O’Hare, and Hunter Patterson were honored as the first participants to complete four full years in the program. The trap team was established during their freshman year spring semester.
“I am so proud of the team that has been built over the last four years and all of their accomplishments,” McConnell added.
