No Changes to Olympic Qualifying Spots on Final Day of US Olympic Archery Trials

There was no change to the Olympic qualifying spots on Monday at the Olympic Archery Trials as the four athletes who were in position to make the team did. Brady Ellison went 6-1 and had the top average score as he finished with a total of 170 for the competition. Zachary Garrett didn’t have as strong a day as he went 4-3 but his average was the second best and he finished second with 148.5. Jake Kaminski also went 4-3 which was more than enough to lock down the third spot as he finished with 110.5 points. Dan McLaughlin did make a nice run with a 6-1 day to finish in fourth place with 99.5 points.

On the women’s side Mackenzie Brown went 6-1 and had the top score as she finished easily in the #1 spot and qualified for the Olympics with a 157 total points. Far behind her in second was Hye Youn Park with 127.5 points and Khatuna Lorig was third with 125.75 points. They will team with Brown at the next Archery World Cup event to try to qualify the US for the team competition in the Olympics which would give the US three spots and thus Park and Lorig would be in the Olympics. They will need to finish among the top three countries who have yet to qualify a team for the Olympics. Lanola Pritchard finished fourth with 103.5 points.

That Archery World Cup event begins June 12th in Antalya, Turkey.
