Not every athlete throws a ball or uses a glove. Reece Holmes, for instance, prefers something a little more explosive. The 19-year-old Grove City High School graduate is a 2020 trapshooting champion.
âIâve wanted to do (trapshooting) since I was little, and somebody in our family is a really good trapshooter so he taught me the basics of how to shoot,â says Holmes, who has been actively competing since 2014.
Trapshooting is a sport in which athletes fire at a clay target, which is launched into the air to simulate the flight of a pigeon fleeing from a hunter, using a shotgun. It originated in England and is an Olympic sport.
