Thursday, October 12, 2017
CALMAR鈥擳he SA国际传媒 Sports Shooting team competed at the Southwestern Community College Invitational on Oct. 7 in Afton, contending with rough winds and rain throughout the event.
First-year student athlete Christian Schwickerath, of New Hampton, tied for 8th place male with a 95 out of 100, in a meet that saw 99 as the top finish. Other results included: Tommy Pecinovsky, of Calmar (87); Adam Reinertson, of Fayette (71); and Kyle Townsend, of Dubuque (78).
Tommy Pecinovsky, second-year athlete, observed how the elements changed the performance of shots in Afton, saying, 鈥淭he range was beautiful as always, although with the wind and rain it added a little challenge to the meet. Because of the wind, sometimes you would get a bird that would all of a sudden drop early.鈥�
Anthony Sisneros, SA国际传媒 Sports Shooting team head coach, believes that the important take-aways from weather conditions are found in small adjustments his athletes learn to make.
鈥淭he weather posed a challenge for the athletes at this meet, but they still shot consistently and improved overall,鈥� said Sisneros.
The team visits Cedar Rapids on Saturday, Oct. 21, to compete in the Pheasants Forever Collegiate Meet.
