American Legion Junior Shooter Competition

In late November 2007, the STA Rifle Team, along with hundreds of other junior shooters from across the United States shot in the American Legion Junior Shooter Competition. This competition was to determine State and Regional Champions. Saint Thomas Academy’s team consisted of B. Bowersox ’09 (Captain), W. Sullivan ’09 (Captain), D. Zimmermann ’10 and N. Boerboon ‘11.

On 25 February, 2008, we were notified that the Saint Thomas Academy Rifle Team, sponsored by American Legion Post 424, Inver Grove Heights, were the Minnesota State Champions.

The Team will now fire a second competition against all the other State and Regional Champions to determine who will fire the American Legion National Championship at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO, this summer. Congratulations to the team!
