DONIPHAN, Neb. — Cody Newlun of Hastings 4-H won a shootout to capture the Cornhusker Cup on Saturday at the 42nd Annual Cornhusker Trapshoot.

Newlun, who shot 89x100 to win the 24-25-yard handicap, finished with a 186x200 two-day score to tie Republican Valley 4-H's Blake Brumbaugh and head to a shootout. Nick Yardley of Gordon-Rushville was three points back in third place.

Jacqueline Baude of Papillion-La Vista South was the high overall girl with a 179x200. She shot an 83x100 Saturday for second place in the girls' handicap. She also helped her team win the high overall girls team crown. Melissa Harnack, Taylor Holzer, Bailey Kustka and Marisa Braddock helped the Lady Titans shoot an 806x1,000 to win their fourth straight crown.

Omaha Creighton Prep Blue (Mitch Cassels, Ryan Glow, James Vasko, Nick Zuerlein and Mark Stockdale) and Republican Valley 4-H (Eli Van Boening, Shane Kohmetscher, Trenton Jordening, Brumbaugh and Kelly Faimon) won the high overall team and high overall 4-H team titles, respectively.

The high score of the day Saturday in the handicap was a 94x100 by Travis Agee of Lincoln Pius X.

Sophomore Aaron Lafler of Lincoln Pius X shot a perfect 100 to take the individual crown in the 16-yard targets of the senior high division on Friday.

Lafler, 15, accomplished his feat despite gusting winds that came and went. He said timing was everything.

“I just got lucky,” he said. “I've shot 100 straight before. This really isn't as abnormal as you think, but these aren't the greatest conditions, either. You've got to shoot quicker.”

Baude of Papillion-La Vista South won the girls' individual title, but she and fellow seniors Melissa Harnack, Taylor Holzer, Marisa Braddock won their fourth straight girls' team title.

Baude said her 96X100 in the 16s was a byproduct of teamwork. “We've always had a mentality of team first,” she said. “We just keep plugging along.”

It's a good thing. The Lady Titans No. 1 team that also included freshman Bailey Kustka needed to plug along. “We didn't get off to the best start but closed out really well,” Baude said. “We missed the first two or three birds out, then started to get used to the wind. We did a lot better in the second 50 (rocks) than the first 50.”

The team finished with a 432X500.

Wade Knott of Louisville was crowned the junior high school champion Thursday with a score of 95X100 on 16-yard targets.

North Platte's Adams Middle School No. 1 team of Hunter Hoatson, Dylan Siemers, Tylan Thompson, Drew Bailey and Shane Mauch won the junior high team title with a score of 422x500.
