UKC would like to congratulate the winners of the 2021/2022 Next Generation Spotlight Series sponsored by Bright Eyes.

In the Nite Hunt series, Kayde Wood, of Peru, Indiana won the Senior Division.

Sweeping the Nite Hunt and Bench Show portions of the Junior Division was Colton Rorvik, of Peru, Indiana.

After an impressive race in the Senior Bench Show Division, Brooklyn Sargent, of Sparta, Kentucky took home the win.

Their hours of training and building relationships with their hounds will be rewarded by getting the recognition theyve earned at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 23rd, before the bench show at Youth Nationals in Medina, Ohio.

We also offer the sincerest gratitude to Bright Eyes Lights, Ray Conrad and his entire team for their support and contributions to the youth of our sport through the Next Generation Spotlight Series and Youth Nationals.
