Big Win For Wisconsin:
he Minuteman Match is the National Six-Person Junior Team Championship. Since 1925, no Wisconsin
team has ever won. That drought ended at the 2017 National Trophy Matches. Team Cheddar, consisting
of firing members Josh Hanrahan of Suamico, Bryan Melville of Chippewa Falls, Vince Norling of
Oconto Falls, Brad Schoenemann of Lodi, Jadon Selsmeyer of Green Bay, Riley Stewart of West Salem,
and Coach Kaleb Hall of Oconto, defeated Pennsylvania by 39 points.
Additionally, Brad Schoenemann and Josh Hanrahan placed in the Bill Deneke Trophy Team by firing
high scores among the nation’s junior competitors throughout the individual and team matches. The pair
are the first Wisconsin juniors to do so since Dan Hall of Green Bay made the team in 2011.
The National Trophy Matches ended with one last honor. Brad Schoenemann earned 2nd place in the
National Air-15 Air Rifle Offhand competition. Schoenemann bested military marksmanship team
members, as well as current and former national champions to take home this honor.
The Wisconsin Junior Service Rifle Team is a volunteer organization operated under the auspices of
