With


all of us coaching her, we all bring different skills sets and experiences to the table to help her because no one person knows everything. Her approach is great. She has an excellent out- look of wanting to do very well, but not to the point of wanting it too much that she gets in her own way. She’s a good sportswoman, too, and is happy to shake someone else’s hand when they do well. On top of that, she’s not afraid to work. She trains hard and she trains smart. All of the above things set


her apart from the average shooter her age. It’s almost


like the perfect storm. As far as the future, that’s to- tally up to her. I’m confident she is capable of achieving whatever she wants so long as the motivation and love for the game is always there. Personally, it’s a pleasure

Molly McGhin (Griffin, Georgia) finished second twice to Zaun. In the J2 age bracket (15-17 years of age), Casey Lutz (Meridian, Idaho) was a double medalist as well, earning silver in Small- bore, bronze in Air. Another notable performance was

tion conclusion, Marsh led from start to finish with the top qualification score and finished that by confident- ly coming out on top in a back-and-forth battle in the final with eventual second- place finisher Rhiann Travis (Weatherford, Texas). Marsh shot the top qualification score of the match with a 416.1 on Day 1 while Travis, 17, was the best shooter on
