The Tennessee Pioneers team also made a good showing with a score of 2247 (a 3.5% improvement over their State Match score).
The Tennessee Possums team once again earned individual recognitions. Wesley Gothard won 1st place in kneeling in the alternate category with a score of 98! Dylan Loftis won 6th place in standing with a 94 and 4 centers. Meredith Daniel won 7th place in standing with a 94 and 1 center. Meredith Daniel won 8th place overall with a 477 out of 500 and Dylan Loftis won 9th place overall with a 476.
All the kids had a wonderful time. They enjoyed one evening by participating in the Barter Bar, which is a time of trading state pins with kids from other states and meeting the other shooters. Dylan and Meredith have aged out of the BB program this year (a great ending for both) and they are both actively pursuing the precision air gun program. We wish them well.
