“I was thinking, ‘Man, don’t screw up.’ Then I stopped, took a breath, cleared my head and focused on the trigger. I wasn’t nervous during the qualification, but going into the final I was very nervous. I saw the NJOSC Men’s 10m Air Rifle final in 2010 and knew I wanted to be there
someday. I’d like to thank my parents, Coach Major Bob DeWitt, Rio Salado Shooting Club and the wonderful volunteers of this match.”
