Kansas City region is sending 2 trapshooting champions to the Paris Olympics

Half of this year's Team USA shotgun trapshooters hail from within an hour of Kansas City. Army Staff Sgt. Rachel Tozier grew up competing in rural Pattonsburg, Missouri, to the north. Derrick Main was raised on a family farm in Walnut, Kansas, to the south.
Four trapshooters, total, will go to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics for Team USA — two women and two men. Half of those athletes are from the Kansas City region.
