Lindenwood University of St. Charles, Mo., has claimed its fifth straight national title, topping Texas A&M, Kansas State and 35 other colleges at the 2008 Intercollegiate Clay Target Championships.

The four-day competition, held annually for the past 40 years, ended Sunday at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.

Events included international trap and skeet and American trap and skeet.

Shooters also competed in a five-stand sporting clays competition.

"With 295 registered competitors, 38 colleges and several first-time schools in this year's field, this was the largest-ever collegiate clay target championship. It's gratifying to see growing interest in shooting sports," said Chris Dolnack of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which sponsors both the event and ESPN production.
