The Lindenwood University Shotgun Sports team is launching an endowed scholarship to assist team members in need. The scholarship was announced on Sept. 22 as the program celebrated its record 15th consecutive national championship at Ameristar Casino. The team won the championship at the ACUI Nationals in the spring at San Antonio, Texas. Friends, families, and supporters filled the room to congratulate the national championship team and recognized the NRA All-Americans, Lindenwood athletes who performed at the highest level at the nationals. Team members received their 2018 medallions and national championship rings and celebrated the dynasty that is Lindenwood Shotgun Sports. The string of 15 national championships is a record among Lindenwood athletic teams and, more significantly, in collegiate sports. No other sports team has won as many consecutive national championships in any sport at any level. In closing remarks, Shawn Dulohery, head coach and emcee for the evening, introduced team alumnus Bryan Stone, who is also a director of development at Lindenwood, to speak on behalf of the program and to launch the Friends and Family Endowed scholarship. The program’s parent group, The Pride, announced a $6,000 gift toward the endowment. Stone said he expects to have full funding and a selected first recipient for the endowed scholarship in place by fall of 2019. For more information or to contribute to the endowed scholarship, contact Stone at bstone@lindenwood.edu or 636-627-2955.
