Triad Trap Closes Strong Season With Two Shoot-Off Trophies

TROY - The Triad High School Trap Team closed its 2026 spring season Tuesday night, May 5, 2026, at the Edwardsville Gun Club High School Shoot Off, placing two squads on the podium against what the team described as top area competition.

Triad’s Gold Rush team took third place in the Chippers Division, and the Black Knights finished third in the Dusters Division at the shoot-off event in Edwardsville.

“I’m proud of the way our athletes competed all season,” head coach Bill Lawrence said. “Gold Rush and Black Knights earned their place in the shoot-off, and both squads finished strong.

“This team continues to grow, and our shooters did a great job representing Triad.”

The High School League, hosted at Edwardsville Gun Club, has grown since launching in 2015 and now regularly fills the club each week with athletes and supporters from across the region. Over the eight-week season, hundreds of athletes from multiple schools compete weekly in team-based trap shooting.

Triad fielded six teams this spring: Gold Rush, Orange Crush, and Red Knights in the Chippers Division, and Black Knights, Red Storm, and Black Storm in the Dusters Division.

Triad athletes also received individual recognition during the league awards ceremony. Camden Geiler was named Triad’s top male shooter, and Kailynn Lanahan was honored as Triad’s top female shooter for the 2026 spring season.

Coaches credited the season’s results to athletes’ commitment, along with support from families, volunteers and the Edwardsville Gun Club staff who help run league nights each week.

With the spring season ending at the annual shoot-off, preparations for the fall league season are expected to begin later this summer. Students interested in joining the Triad High School Trap Team can contact https://www.facebook.com/TriadTrapTeam/ for more information.
