FARGO — Concordia’s Alex Christiansen capped his freshman season as one of the top collegiate clay target shooters in the country.
Christiansen finished in 10th place in the male gold division at the USA College Clay Target League National Championship, a multiple-day event which was completed Sunday at the Brittany Shooting Park near Bunker Hill, Illinois.
From Rosemount, Minnesota, Christiansen hit 194 of 200 clay targets to earn the top-10 finish.
“I kind of always like to hope to do better than I do, but that’s just because I want to be perfect,” Christiansen said. “Yet, it’s not possible. I mean, it is possible to an extent, but everybody has good days, everybody has off days.”
Christiansen didn’t have too many off days during the fall season. The Cobbers won their seven-team conference during the regular season. Conference groupings are based on school size. Montcalm Community College (Mich.), Ferris State (Mich.), Mid Michigan College, St. Cloud Technical and Community College (Minn.), Fort Hayes Tech (Kansas), and Indiana Wesleyan were the team in Concordia’s conference.
