Athletes Bring Their A-Game to State Championships
To ensure the healthy and safety of participants at this year’s 2020 Tennessee SCTP Championships, Tennessee Wildlife Federation issued a number of new protocols for competition.
Due to the pandemic, the 2020 Tennessee SCTP State Championships looked a little different than in years past but the competition was as exciting as ever.
To ensure the health and safety of participants, Tennessee Wildlife Federation took a number of precautions, including adjusting the competition format, encouraging participants to wear masks, and reducing group gatherings. Tennessee SCTP also shortened the competition to four days to minimize exposure among participants and hosted virtual safety briefings before the event.
“We’re so thankful to the athletes, parents, coaches, and volunteers for being flexible and adapting to the new safety measures,” said Andrew Peercy, Tennessee SCTP manager. “We know how important this competition is to the community, but our focus has and will always be safety first.”
Student-athletes, from middle school to college, competed in three shotgun shooting sports disciplines: trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
“Even with an adjusted competition format, athletes from all corners of the state brought their A-game to the Nashville Gun Club this year,” said Andrew.
