University of Utah Collegiate Pistol Member Brad Collins, a junior in Mechanical
Engineering, swept all three of the events in which he was entered at
the Preliminary Tryout for the US National Pistol Team competition held
September 27th and 28th at the U. He tied with former US Navy shooter Robert
Maust. Both shot 557 out of a total of 600 in the Air Pistol event. (For
comparison, the winning score at the National Inter-collegiate Pistol
Championships this year was 560.) The Finals competition was not decided
until the final shot when Collins came out ahead by one tenth point out
of a possible 109! Collins won the Standard Pistol event with a score of 536, beating U Physics Associate Chair Eugene Mishchenko by 28 points. Again, for reference, the winning score at Collegiate Nationals was 546. (This score would have taken sixth.) In the Free Pistol event, Collins handily beat Ron Morales, who came all the way from Sacramento CA for the competition. Collins's score was 498 out of 600 and would have qualified him to compete in Collegiate Nationals. These scores also put Collins well on the way to achieving All-American honors in all three events. The women's events were dominated by Lindsay Daniels, a senior in International Studies who spent the summer studying in Jordan. Lindsay fired 342 out of 400 in the Women's Air Pistol event and 516 out of 600 in Women's Sport Pistol. |
