The Colorado Rocky Mountains provided the backdrop for the 2012 NJOSC for Shotgun, July 10-17. Miranda Wilder (Diana, Texas) headlines a Junior Olympic class primed to compete with USA Shooting’s best now and in the future. Wilder backed up her silver medal at the 2012 National Champion- ships by winning her fourth JO title in Women’s Trap at the age of 19. Who knew that 2012 JO success would translate to national success so soon as many of the JO shooters earned podium spots later in the Fall Selection Match. The pipeline of talent ready to take their place among the sport’s best is fully loaded.
“I always want to shoot my best and compete to the best of my ability and this kind of proves to me that I can do it each time I step out there. I want to thank my parents for carting me around and paying for it—I know it’s not cheap—and my friends, they are great supporters as well.” Brandy Drozd
