Camp Instructors
Lucas Kozeniesky
This North Carolina State standout started shooting his freshman year of high school and a year later had already earned a trip to USA Shooting’s National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships, which ultimately motivated him to go shoot in college.
Lucas became the first Wolfpack All-American since 1975 all while earning an individual selection to the NCAA Championships in air rifle. In 2016, he became the first shooter from North Carolina State University to compete at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 where he placed 21st.
Fueled by his 21st place finish in 2016, Lucas made major improvements to his training and mental game. He committed to sharing those winning values with junior athletes through his shooting consultation business, Team Winning Solutions (TWS). Thus far, over 44 athletes from TWS have committed to go shoot in college.
