Over two dozen squads representing eight teams vied for titles in all three divisions – Junior, Senior, and College. The teams’ participation earned them a total of $15,000 in endowment funds, which SPP will donate on their behalf to team accounts at the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc.
In Junior Rimfire Division, the Burlington Demons Squad 2 took the gold medal, with Hartford Conservation Squad 1 earning silver and Union Grove Squad 6 the bronze.
