The University of Minnesota Crookston athletic department announced the hiring of Anne Prudhomme as head trap coach. Prudhomme is the second coach in the program's history, replacing Andy Gjerswold who resigned after three seasons as head coach.
"We are excited to name Anne as the head trap coach at Minnesota Crookston," said Director of Athletics Stephanie Helgeson. "Anne has a passion for trap shooting that was evident immediately. She was a student-athlete herself and we believe with her background as a health coach and her previous experience in the sport, she will be a great fit for our program."
Prudhomme was a collegiate trap student-athlete at Northland Community and Technical College. The Crookston resident, and Fisher High School graduate, competed for the Pioneers as a member of their inaugural team during the 2018 season. Prudhomme competed for Head Coach Rod Lahren.

"I am very excited and proud to be a working part of the UMN Crookston Athletic team as the head trap coach," Prudhomme stated. "I am looking forward to providing encouragement and support to the student athletes in their journey at UMN Crookston. I am enthusiastic about sharing my passion for the sport as well as my love for serving others and helping them reach their personal goals. I truly am looking forward to being a part of this team."
In addition to competing in college, Prudhomme serves as a board member at the Crookston Gun Club. She has also served as captain for recreational summer league teams.
Prudhomme currently serves as a health coach at Altru Clinic in Crookston. She assists people with motivational interviewing, and providing education and support for individuals wanting to experience growth within themselves. Prudhomme worked as a nurse for Riverview Health from 2005-18.
