Conner Daniel - Raider Sporting Clays Team
Athlete of the Week November 14th - November 20th
Connor Daniel is this week’s SCPS Athlete of the Week! Connor shot a 288/300 and also finished as the Sporting Clays Champion (Open Division) and HOA Runner Up (Open Division) at the GISA State Championship this weekend. Connor has been a part of clay shooting for about a year and a half and says his favorite memory is being able to practice and compete with his team and getting to watch team members work harder to become better. Connor says his goal for this season was to place in the top three in his division at the state shoot and be the lead shooter for the school which he accomplished this season and says his favorite thing about being a Raider is getting to support the school on and off the field and represent what it means to be a true Raider. When asked what it means to be named Athlete of the Week, Connor said, “Being named SCPS Athlete of the Week is obviously a big deal to me and I am honored to even be considered. After trying other sports and not excelling, I finally found the sport for me and I hope this will encourage others. I've worked very hard to get to where I am today. I hope to become a leader for all athletes while representing SCPS. I am looking forward to doing my part and helping my teammates so that we can continue to improve and bring home more wins. Thank you SCPS for allowing shooting sports! It has changed my life for the better.”
