Success on point for clay target team

Bethany’s new Clay Target Team, consisting of just eight members in its inaugural season, captured first place in the USA College Clay Target League (Division 1A) National Clay Target Conference. The Vikings were placed into a conference of four schools (Bethany, Bemidji State, Kent State, and Jefferson CC of New York). For Fall 2021, there are fourteen college teams participating in the USA College Clay Target League. The schools are assigned into one of three conferences based on team size (changes every year). The Vikings participated in a five-week competition season ending on October 24. Competitions are virtual with each school contending at their home range.

Bethany’s Andrew Adermann (River Falls, Wisconsin) was the top shooter within the conference and Tyler Stolt (Gaylord, Minnesota) was third. For the women, Audrey Peterson (Kilkenny, Minnesota) came in first and Viktoria Kranz (Gaylord, Minnesota) was second.

Kenn Mueller coaches the team and Vice President of Student Affairs Ted Manthe and Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration Daniel Mundahl assist with the team’s operations.
