Corey Cogdell Takes Trap Lead at Shotgun Olympic Trials

Reaching the halfway point of the second trap Shotgun Olympic Trials 2012 Olympian Corey Cogdell took the lead from Janessa Beaman. Cogdell shot a 45 to Beaman’s 44 to pull within a point going into Monday’s final. The final went poorly for Beaman as she got only one point to Cogdell’s four as Cogdell took a two point lead. Ashley Carroll shot a 46 and then won the final and pulled within three points of Cogdell. While Cogdell may have the edge for the Olympic spot there’s no doubt Beaman and Carroll both have a shot at this.

In the non-Olympic qualifying men’s trap competition Dustin McGowen shot a 47 and Christopher Haire shot a 46. Both struggled in the final with McGowen grabbing just one point and Haire two. They finish day two with 350 points and a three point lead over two people who made a move on Monday. Casey Wallace was five points back and Ryne Barfield was six points back but Wallace scored a 49 and Barfield came in second in the final to move to 347.
