Approximately 40 shooters participated in the shoot and represented five different schools: Purdue, Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa State, and Illinois Universities. Purdue dominated, winnning 3 of the 4 team trophies, and 4 of the seven individual trophies. The Regionals provided a good warm-up for the ACU-I Collegiate Shotgun Nationals in April.

The Big 10 team with the highest HOA score in the Midwest Regional wins the Big 10 traveling trophy to take home and display for the next year. Purdue was the 1998 Big 10 Champion beating Indiana University by 29 targets. The University of Illinois earned Third Place.
