Three Waiuku College students have been selected to represent New Zealand for clay target shooting.
Jackson Coe (Year 12), Ayden Askin and Conrad Askin (both Year 13) were selected at the New Zealand nationals held at Hamilton in early March.
The team was selected on the highest score over the week. Jackson shot in the open team while twins Conrad and Ayden shot in the junior team.
The trio competed for NZ against Australia, England, South Africa, Canada, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The winner has yet to be announced as some countries compete in their own country due to the difficulties of travel.
Jackson and Conrad will be competing in the 2025 Oceania tournament in May against Australia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Niue, and Norfolk Island.
Meanwhile, Ayden will be with the school team competing in Taupo.
Peter Askin, of Waiuku College and father of Ayden and Conrad, said the trio were where they are today thanks to the coaching from some of the top coaches in their club: Gavin Paton, Les Clark, Rob Anderson, and many more within the club over the years.
