DNR awarded two $1000 scholarships to the top graduating senior male and female
competitor. Chandler Gray from Orangeburg Preparatory School was awarded a scholarship as the top Senior Male and Madison Price from Saluda High School was awarded a scholarship as the top Senior Female.
DNR provided ammunition to all participants and paid for clay target fees for this event. Students from the S.C. Independent School Association (SCISA) also competed at this event, which SCISA recognized as their state championship for skeet.
