In her first season on the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) Trap Shooting team, Sarah Forrest is already making her mark. On March 15, Forrest, a sophomore K-6 elementary education major at UAM, won the top prize in the female division at the “Clays for a Cause” Trap Shoot Fundraiser. 

The event was hosted by Compassion’s Foundation at the Farmers Bank & Trust Trap Shooting Range at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. 

The newly formed UAM Trap Shooting team is off to a winning start in its inaugural season, with members claiming top finishes in each of its first two competitions. 

“UAM Trap Shooting continues to do well in competition,” said Chief John Kidwell, director of the University Police Department at UAM and team sponsor of UAM Trap Shooting. “It seems like a different trap team member shines at each new event. I am very pleased to see Sarah Forrest compete and win at this level.”
