Scholarship to Emmanuel College

The USA Nationals 2015 where my last USA Target tournament here in America. I spent last week in Decatur Alabama, shooting in some very tough conditions. The Junior Woman shot our ranking round over the course of two days, we had 5 hour delays due to lightning, heavy rain and high winds. I arrived at the range at 7:30am waited around in the truck for hours as lightning kept striking close to the range. It was long days, but worth it. I started this year ranking 39th Junior Woman in America at the Indoor Nationals and this weekend I walked away with my highest American Junior Ranking yet. Coach Dee stood behind me and helped me finish 6th Junior in the USA. I won the Junior Woman's Guest Division, made it to the 1/8ths in eliminations and my team was in the bronze medal match, finishing up 4th.

These last few weeks have been tough as I’ve hit a lot of mental and physical barriers, but I’ve broken, no, I have smashed some personal bests and made changes in my form that I never believed I would be able to do. I broke 600 in a 720 round for the first time in training which is a big break through for me. My coaches have been saying for a long time that the results are going to start happening and I truly believe that they are right. I’ve pushed forward my flights a little so I can have an extra couple of weeks to work with Coach Dee before returning to Christchurch to train with the National Development Team. As I start College back up again in 5 days, I know it’s going to be a challenge to continue to put in as my training hours as I have, but I have never turned down a good challenge ? I am aiming for Shanghai in 2015, and need to shoot 4 qualifying scores to be able to represent New Zealand on an international stage.
