The U.S. Coast Guard Academy won the New England Scholastic Steel Challenge Collegiate Spring Championship on May 8 at the Hartford Gun Club in Hartford, Conn., with the University of Vermont taking second place and the Wayland Warriors in third. Harvard and Yale took fourth and fifth places, respectively. Individual Wayland Warriors did very well – Jesse Goddard (Wayland High School’s Class of 2013) placed third overall, John Monahan (Class of 2012) placed sixth, Will Gunshenan (Class of 2013) placed 12th, and Derek Kaufman (Class of 2011) placed 14th. In the Scholastic Steel Challenge, young adults aged 12 to 20 shoot steel targets with 9-millimeter pistols. Good scores require speed and accuracy, and the competitors demonstrated plenty of both. These Wayland High School students formed their team six weeks ago, and they spent the last four weeks preparing for this match. They set a goal of beating one team at least, which later progressed to beating Harvard and Yale, which they accomplished.
