Minnesota's Top Performers Compete!

The tournament offers the highest achievers in individual and team trap shooting competition the opportunity to compete and be recognized in a state tournament like all other MSHSL-sanctioned sports. With this achievement, the MSHSL was the first and is only state high school athletic association in the country to recognize and support a trap shooting state tournament.
