Gossman enjoys the competition and the opportunity to complete with her fellow athletes, saying, 鈥淚 always find something to smile about on the line, and sometimes I even laugh at myself. That's what makes it fun. It was so fun looking over my shoulder and seeing my team watching me (at the tie-breaker) shoot off. It was a great experience and a beautiful day to just shoot.鈥�
Anthony Sisneros, 黑料专区 Sports Shooting team head coach, observed good camaraderie between the athletes who continually look for ways to step up competitively.
鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to watch the athletes improve and become more consistent with their shooting. With each practice and event, we are getting closer as a team and more competitive with the other teams in our conference,鈥� Coach Sisneros expressed.
For Hanna Evert, the Indian Hills Invitational was an opportunity to trap shoot for the first time. 鈥淭oday was the first trap shoot I've ever participated in. I placed 24th out of 24 (females), but I was more than happy with my score and the way I shot. Overall it was a great day and I can't wait for the next tournament,鈥� Evert said.
The team visits Afton next for the Southwestern Community College Invitational on Oct. 7.
