Good Day for Brian Burrows in Trap but No Finals at ISSF World Cup in Rio

Brian Burrows was in 43rd after three rounds in the men’s trap qualifying and five points back of a tie for the qualifying score. He probably needed a perfect final day to get back into contention and he wasn’t far from it.
A 25 in the first round of Sunday gave him a chance to dream but it turned out even two perfect rounds would have left him a point out and he ended up shooting a 23 and finishing 24th. It was a good day as well for Casey Wallace who shot 23, 24 and wound up 36th and Seth Iman who jumped up seven spots to 57th after a 24, 24. All of the Americans posted their best score on Sunday.

Sunday also featured the women’s 10m air pistol competition. Enkelejda Shehaj Bekurti came the closest to reaching the finals but bookended 93s in the first and last series left her at 378 and five points out of the final spot in 26th. Lydia Paterson was 38th with Courtney Anthony shooting a 97 in series two but 90s to open and close left her in 50th.

Monday brings the start of the 50m men’s pistol event featuring Will BrownNickolaus Mowrer, and 2016 Olympian Jay Shi. All three competed in Bangkok with Brown and Shi finishing 12th and 13th. The entire men’s 10m air rifle will be held as well with Dempster ChristensonIvan Roe, and Garrett Spurgeon competing for the US. Roe competed for the US in Bangkok and finished 16th.
