Winning national titles has become commonplace for Burrows, who clinched his third title over a four- year span. Burrows wasn’t the best shooter over the 250 targets but earned another title by virtue of his fi rst and third-place fi nishes in the fi nals. A shoot-off victory over Travis Old (Tex-
arkana, Texas) secured him the overall victory by one point over silver medalist McGowen and Alex Rennert (Surfside, Florida). McGow- en capped an impressive Nationals showing by not only taking the Junior Na- tional title but also defeat- ing Rennert in a shoot-off to earn the silver medal and the ultimate reward – USA Shooting National Team designation. McGowen’s score of 240 targets hit was match high in the men’s division and added to that with two fourth-place fi nishes in the each of the two fi nals. Rennert has now
earned the bronze medal in back-to-back National Championships. Women’s National
Champion Ashely Carroll’s run was equally impres- sive, particularly since she changed her whole routine just two weeks ago. It’s an adjustment that’s likely to stick now given that her score of 243/250 sets a new National record and earned her the best score of all competitors, male or female. Just 20, Carroll (Solvang, California) has earned medals at the past three Nationals following silver in 2014 and bronze
in 2013. Still, she’s hoping her new form leads to more domination in the future in her battle for greater con- sistency among a talented group of national foes. Nine points behind was
another Arkansas com- petitor in Kayle Browning (Wooster), who will compete at the 2015 Pan American Games later this summer. Finishing third was Colorado Springs native Janessa Bea- man behind a second-place fi nals fi nish and surviving a shoot-off with Tori Burch (Mountain Home, Texas). Kimberley Bowers (Lafay- ette, California) was fi fth fol-
