Catawba Valley Community College anglers Jeremy Dellinger and Nathan Smith clinched another national tournament berth for themselves and the Red Hawk program on Saturday with their 17th-place finish in the 2021 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series on Lake Hartwell.
Dellinger and Smith competed among a field of 260 teams, including three teams from CVCC, to earn their national tournament berth.
“All three of our teams at Lake Hartwell had solid performances,” said CVCC bass fishing head coach Angela Mayo. “Jeremy Dellinger and Nathan Smith made some great adjustments after day one and moved up the leaderboard on day two for a 17th place finish out of 260 teams. It’s great to have a qualifying team for the 2021 B.A.S.S. College National Championship so early in the season.”
