Congratulations to Slinger’s Holly Elsinger for competing at the national level in the 2024 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships in Grand Island, Nebraska

Washington County 4-H member Holly Elsinger represented Wisconsin 4-H at the June 23-28 4-H Shooting Sports National Championship, where she placed first out of 76 participants on Day One and fourth Overall in Air Pistol. To achieve a national team placing, Holly participated in several of the 15 annual invitational 4-H Shooting Sports events offered around Wisconsin. Scores from these events establish an individual’s eligibility ranking for next year’s National Championships.

Holly was one of twelve members of the Wisconsin 4-H Shooting Sports teams competing at the National Championships this year, comprising the disciplines of Air Pistol, Air Rifle, Archery Compound, Archery Recurve, and Shotgun. Over 40 states and some 500 4-H members participated in three days of competition hosted by Nebraska 4-H and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.

Congratulations to Holly for making the national team, an accomplishment that requires hours of practice. Thank you to the 4-H leaders for their shooting sports commitment so 4-H members may have the opportunity for growth experiences at all levels.

Holly is a member of Washington County’s St Lawrence Eager Beavers 4-H Club.
