2012 Olympian Josh Richmond held the lead after the first Olympic trials event and pulled away in the second day to claim the berth in Rio. Richmond shot a 140, six better than Jeffrey Holguin, and locked up the Olympic berth even before the finals had been contested. In the end Richmond finished with 559 and Holguin in second with 548 points.

In the women’s skeet 2012 Olympian Kimberly Rhode shot a 72 while Amber English shot a 68. The contest appears to be clearly heading the way of Rhode as she holds a double digit lead going into the final day. The men’s side is a bit more interesting but Frank Thompson posted a perfect 75 and increased his lead to five points over Phillip Jungman who shot a 72. Thompson’s closest challenger is actually Hayden Stewart who shot a 74 and fell one point further behind, but still within four. The skeet competition wraps up on Friday.
