Craft Wins Bronze in Cyprus
Skeet competitor Morgan Craft (Muncy Valley, Pennsylva-
nia, pictured right) opened the ISSF World Cup in Larnaca, Cyprus, by earning the fi rst World Cup medal of her career, capturing bronze in Women’s Skeet. The 21-year-old Craft shot her way to the podium by with-
standing a qualifi cation shootoff with six other competitors, all of whom were tied with 71 targets following three qualifi cation rounds. She hit 14/16 targets in the semifi nal, which once again forced her into a shoot-off for a chance at the bronze- medal match. She beat Russia’s Victoria Kholkina, four hits to three to lead her to a matchup with Thai competitor Sutiya Jiewchaloemmit. With just one miss, bronze would be claimed by Craft after her opponent dropped three targets.
