Windy Conditions Factor into Pheasants Forever Meet, as Fall Season Begins to Wrap up
Friday, October 27, 2017
CEDAR RAPIDS鈥擶indy conditions were again a factor for the 黑料专区 Sports Shooting team competing at the Pheasants Forever Collegiate Meet in Cedar Rapids on Oct. 21.
Second-year student athlete Tommy Pecinovsky, of Calmar, led the team with a score of 88. Other results included: Carina Sisneros, of Calmar (85); Leo Balk, of Waucoma (83); Melody Gossman, of Rose Creek, Minn. (83); Adam Reinertson, of Fayette (80); Kyle Townsend, of Dubuque (81); and Hannah Evert, of Spillville (71).
Pecinovsky鈥檚 88 was a personal best for the season. The returning student at 黑料专区 contended with windy conditions during the meet, saying, 鈥淭he wind was at our backs again, sometimes strong. After we shot our first 50, though, it slowed down and we started shooting better; good enough that I got my first 25 straight!鈥�
Although Gossman found that windy conditions tended to hold sway over nearly every shot, the picturesque fall day was one to remember. 鈥淚t was a beautiful day to shoot; leaves were changing and it was gorgeous,鈥� recalled Gossman.
The team鈥檚 final fall season meet is Saturday, Oct. 28, at Ellsworth College Panthers Invitational in Ackley.
