The NRHEG Clay Target Team, now in its second year, traveled to Alexandria, MN for the 2012 State Clay Target team competition. More than 900 student athletes were present at state this year, making it the single largest trapshooting event of any kind in the state of Minnesota.
This is indicative of a league that in five years has grown from three teams in 2008 to 57 teams in 2012. This year, the NRHEG group brought 16 shooters to the event, which is broken up into the three divisions of Novice, Junior Varsity, and Varsity.
In the Novice division, Ryan Schaak and Tyler Raimann represented the team. Tyler, who is the team's winner of the Most Improved Shooter award, scored 54 out of 75 targets, which placed the 7th grader in the top third of all novice shooters. Junior Varsity fielded Emily Habek, Kirsten Olsen, Larissa Peterson, Haylie Mosher, Josh Fleming, Kyle Holz, and Cordell Peterson.

On Friday and Saturday, the 22nd and 23rd of June, 80 of Minnesota’s best recently graduated baseball players will gather to participate in the annual Minnesota Lions All-Star Tournament. It is an incredible opportunity and honor to be selected to play in, and one of those players is a member of our own community who graduated from NRHEG High School this May.
Sam Lundberg is a remarkable athlete. Not only was he all-conference and awarded MVP for NRHEG’s 2012 baseball season, but he has also been chosen to play in the Lions All-Star Tournament this weekend.
“The opportunity that I am getting is really one that is pretty incredible,” said Lundberg. “Not many guys get this chance to play in such a prestigious game.”
