Hi, everyone. It seems like in the wintertime more people pass away. This is certainly true in Illinois trapshooting because we lost three shooters over the past month. Ed Austin, Robert Wheatey and Linda Nowak have all died recently. All three were good people, good shooters and good friends. I know I sound like a broken record, but I hate to report losing people like this. It diminishes us all when they are not around.
I need to correct a mistake I made when I figured the 2025 Illinois All-State team. In the Sub-Junior category, Logan Rynders should be removed from the fifth spot and Adelynn Wottowa should go in to replace him. I apologize to all who are affected by this change.
Shoot well and support your local club.
