Lauren Poole delivered an outstanding performance, breaking 25 consecutive clays to end the 2025 season with a 91/100 score, tying her for 4th place female in the State of Illinois.

In just their second year competing in the Sporting Clays event, the Metamora Clay Target Team delivered an outstanding performance. Dominating the conference throughout the season, the team ended as the 2025 1A Sporting Clays conference champions.
Individual Performance

The team maintained their momentum and shot their way to an impressive 3rd place finish in the State tournament. The squad, consisting of Jax Bequette, Zack Bumeter, Drake Caldwell, Kamden Kobylarz, and Koby Karcher, showcased exceptional skill and teamwork. Individually, Jax Bequette finished just off the podium with a 5th-place finish overall in the state.

In a short timeline, Metamora has risen to the top of the Illinois High School Clay Target League ranks. Thank you to the Metamora Township High School, the school board, and our financial sponsors for their support.

Congratulations to two MTHS wrestlers who have qualified for the USMC National Championships in wrestling. Grady Neal, an incoming Junior, will compete in Greco Roman junior division, and incoming Freshman Calliope Willman will compete in the Girls' Cadet Freestyle competition. This is the largest wrestling tournament in the world. In wrestling, "Fargo" refers to the U.S. Marine Corps Junior and 16U National Championships held annually in Fargo, North Dakota. It's a prestigious event, often called the biggest high school wrestling tournament in the United States. The competition features both boys' and girls' freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling divisions. The event is held at the Fargodome and attracts thousands of wrestlers and fans. It's a key event for high school wrestlers looking to showcase their skills and potentially earn college scholarships. Many wrestlers who compete at Fargo go on to achieve success at the collegiate and even senior levels. Grady and Cali are on the Illinois Nationals team and will be representing our state and school. Best of luck, Grady and Cali!
