SCTP Goes Olympic-Style Nearly 100 youths will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., this weekend to compete in the Scholastic Clay Target Program's first SCTP International Shotgun Championships, an event the U.S. Olympic shotgun coach says he is very pleased to see. The event will include team competitions in the international versions of trap and skeet, both of which are shot in the Olympics and at other world events. "When I look at the people who are trying to make our Olympic team or world championship team, I've got 120. That's nationwide. In Italy, they've got 80,000 to 90,000," said Lloyd Woodhouse, U.S. Olympic and national shotgun team coach. Woodhouse said SCTP's growth and its participants' increasing involvement in the international games are encouraging. "To potentially have 8,000 kids to draw from, it's the most marvelous thing in the world," Woodhouse said. This year, there were 8,300 youths from 41 states that competed in SCTP trap, skeet and sporting clays, a 40 percent increase from 2005.
