Bryan Langley, who works as the Tribe’s Higher Education manager, won the Professional Division for the third time while his daughter, Moriah, won the Pee Wee Division, besting her brothers Gavin and Abram, who took second and fifth, respectively. Tribal member Matt Lux, who won the Oregon State Elk Calling Championship, did not make it out of the preliminaries of the Professional Division, which had 22 competitors. “The competition was pretty stiff,” Bryan Langley said. Langley also won the men’s division in 2009. Seventy-eight contestants competed in six different divisions turning the championships.
