As we officially wrapped up the 2026 season, our USJ Sport Shooting Team gathered for one final evening together to celebrate an incredible year.

From sharing a meal and recognizing our athletes with team awards and Academic All-State awards to introducing our first-ever Team Scholarship recipient and Honorary Team Captain, the night was about much more than scores and trophies. It was about celebrating the people who make this team special.

This season was filled with growth, new friendships, personal bests, state championships, national medals, and memories that will last a lifetime. More importantly, it was a season defined by hard work, sportsmanship, and teammates who consistently encouraged one another.

To our athletes, parents, coaches, sponsors, and volunteers—thank you for making this year one to remember. Your support has helped build something truly special, and we're already looking forward to what next season has in store.
