This competition, being the prelude to the nationals, saw more than 700 shooters competing keenly in four of the 10m air weapon events. I am glad to say that our monkeys managed to stand their ground against the older and more experienced opponents.
Here are the highlights of the school division.
In the Air Pistol Women event, Clarissa finished in a credible 8th placing with a score of 354 points and Fion came in 10th.
In the Air Rifle Men event, Yong Qing surprised us by coming in 4th with a very good score of 569 points.
Once again, our air rifle girls came through with a fine performance. Shuet Hwei did one better than her last competition. This time round, she won the gold medal with a score of 391 points. Both of her teammates also did very well. Audrey came in 4th and Adele 6th. Their combined score of 1160 points won them the air rifle women’s team title.
Nigel wrapped up the academy’s good performance with a silver medal in the Air Pistol Men Open event. Well done coach.
