The Central Raider's Trap Team had three athletes attend the National Trap Shooting Tournament in Mason, Michigan from July 5-9, 2023, Owen Miller, Hunter Kroells and Jacob Brueggemeier. The three boys did an excellent job representing Central Schools NYA and the Central Trap Team, shooting in the Individual Competition on Saturday July 8, 2023. Owen Miller shot 85/100, Hunter Kroells shot 95/100 (reverse run of 2) Jacob Brueggemeier 95/100 (reverse run of 19). Jacob qualified to shoot again in the Individual Finals, where only the top 400 of 1718 were able to shoot. During the finals Jacob shot 92/100 for 335th overall of the 1718 competing athletes. There were 19 perfect scores of 100 during the Final Competition and it took 169 birds to determine the overall winners during a shoot off.

Jacob Brueggemier shot at the National High School Clay Targets tournament in Mason, Michigan. There were 1800 kids at the tournament, Jacob placed 330 overall, competing against kids from across the Country! Way to go Jacob!

There is a new and exciting opportunity Ridgeview is offering this summer – sports injury clinics. Staffed by our athletic trainers, we are offering injury evaluation followed by treatment and take-home recommendations for sports injuries of any age! This is a great opportunity for those high school and youth athletes to receive some additional care over the summer for those injuries that pop up but is also a great opportunity for those older athletes who might have a nagging injury after a weekend softball tournament, a 10k or a round of golf. These are being held at three of our clinic locations – Belle Plaine, Mound Westonka, and Delano.
