Again leading the way for Jesuit was Paul Thompson who shot his personal best in trap only missing 1 target. Paul ended up finishing 3rd place in the State Championship because there were two perfect scores of 100 turned in and 1st and 2nd was decided in a shoot off.

Varsity Skeet
WOW! This group showed up! We ended up in 3rd place in Varsity Skeet with a score of 478 out of 500. We were only 10 targets out of 1st place!
This was our best skeet performance ever!
Our Sr. leader Luke Goodman shot a near perfect round. Luke missed 1 target in his first 25 and then shot 3 perfect rounds for a score of 99 out of 100. The kicker to this was that there were 5 other 99's shot by other athletes so Luke had to go to a shoot off to decide who won 3rd place. In the end Luke ended up getting beat in the shoot off. But what a way to end your career on the Jesuit shooting team. Great job Luke!

We had several Varsity members also shoot perfect rounds of 25. Judge Platt, Gavin Dourty shot his 1st two rounds for 50 strait. Bunker Hill also shot a perfect 25 as did Ryan Fitzgerald.
