More than 150 athletes from across the country competed at the 2022 USA Shooting Shotgun National Championships in the trap event at Hillsdale, Michigan, July 20-24, for their chance to secure a title and a possible World Championship Team spot.

Rachel Tozier, a Sgt. with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, won the open women’s gold medal. Julia Stallings secured silver in the same category, while Aeriel Skinner earned bronze.

Based off scores from the USA Shooting National Championships, plus a selection match earlier this year, the shooters earning spots on the 2022 World Championship Team for women’s trap are Kayle Browning, Aeriel Skinner and Rachel Tozier.

In the open men’s category, Derrick Mein, currently ranked No. 1 in the world for men’s trap, took home the gold. Will Hinton walked away with the silver medal and Glenn Eller earned bronze.

The 2022 World Championship Team for men’s trap includes Derrick Mein, Will Hinton and Casey “Jake” Wallace.

“Everyone came prepared and shot high caliber scores,” said Jay Waldron, USA Shooting national shotgun coach. “It feels good to have the [trap] world team selected. I am looking forward to going to worlds and doing some damage.”
