2024 marked the 152nd anniversary of Schützenfest! This year's celebration included a champion who has been competing for 18 years to match his father's crown, a repeat Women's champion, and a Youth champ who matched her twin sister's prize. It really doesn't get any better than this!

The 2024 Schützenkönig is Trey Leitko, whose father claimed the prize in 2009. Trey has been competing for 18 years. This year he claimed the prize with a jaw-dropping, perfect score of 36 in the final round! That put the pressure on all the competitors who followed, but none were able to match his performance. Congratulations, Trey!
Monica Fricke became a repeat champ, having won the Women's title in 2022. She shoot a 64 in the two rounds to claim the title again.
Morgan Nelius won the 2024 Youth competition with a score of 63. Morgan is one of two twins of member Travis Nelius. Her twin sister, Cayden, won the title in 2021! Keepin' it in the family!
