Eric Harvey Goes Back-to-Back at Gator Cup, Edmunds Takes Lady Crown

Eric Harvey knows his way around Back Woods Quail Club. And for the second straight year, nobody at the Gator Cup knew it better.

The Team Winchester and Team White Flyer shooter was crowned the Main Event High Over All winner at the 2026 Gator Cup with a score of 183 out of 200, finishing three targets clear of runner-up Brandon Powell to claim his second consecutive championship at the Georgetown, South Carolina, venue on March 29. The victory earned Harvey a $5,000 payout.

Harvey’s winning loads were Winchester AA Diamond Grade 1⅛-ounce No. 7.5 and AA Diamond Grade 1-ounce No. 7.5.

The Main Event wasn't Harvey’s only strong showing at the 2026 Gator Cup. He finished as the Thursday Prelim runner-up with 95 out of 100, took third in the Friday Prelim 1 Master Class (92/100) and was runner-up in the Friday Prelim 2 Master Class (91/100)—four podium-worthy results across a week that tested 764 shooters on one of the toughest sporting clays setups on the NSCA calendar.

Teammate Desi Edmunds matched Harvey’s Main Event title on the women’s side, winning Lady High Over All with 163 out of 200. She added the Super Sporting Lady High Over All with 92 out of 100, giving her two titles for the week. Edmunds relied on Winchester AA Xtra-Lite 1-ounce No. 7.5 loads throughout the tournament.

Between Harvey and Edmunds, Team Winchester and Team White Flyer owned the top line of both the men’s and women’s Main Event leaderboards, a sweep of the Gator Cup’s two most coveted individual titles.

Zach Kienbaum turned in another productive week across multiple disciplines. He finished as the Main Event Master Class runner-up with 174 out of 200, took third in Five-Stand Master Class (95/100) and added a third-place result in Super Sporting Master Class (98/100). Connor Daniel contributed a pair of fourth-place Junior finishes in the Main Event (163/200) and FITASC (89/100).

The 2026 Gator Cup ran six days across one of the deepest fields on the early-season NSCA circuit, with 764 shooters competing across FITASC, Five-Stand, Sub-Gauge Sporting, Super Sporting, multiple prelims and the marquee 200-bird Main Event.
