The 2010-11 school year marked the inaugural year for the MUHS Trap Team. Dan Kent, MUHS security officer and father of Max ’12, helped establish and organize one of the fastest growing new activities at Marquette High. The trap team attracted 46 students, from first-time shooters to experienced marksmen, to register for the club. “I saw a great opportunity for an educational co-curricular activity,” says Kent, a retired police officer and an active trap participant. “Trap is a sport that caters to all physical abilities and offers another venue for a team to come together with common goals.” In the fall, all MUHS students, regardless of experience, were invited to join the club. Kent and the other Trap team coaches, Reynaldo Herrera ’88, Phil Miller ’80, Martin Kendl and Conrad Zvara, educated interested students and helped them earn their gun safety certification, a requirement of the club. The Hilltoppers went on to have an impressive first season, competing in the Southeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) Youth Trapshooting Conference and finished second overall out of eight teams. At the SCTP state competition in June, MUHS brought home four medals. Kent emphasizes that state awards were not the goal of the team, instead the club focused on safety, development of skills, and a sense of pride in achievement. “I’ve been extremely pleased with our initial results of the club and look forward to next year,” he says.
