2016 Olympian Corey Cogdell made a statement Friday in San Marino that she will be a contender for a women’s trap medal in Rio. Cogdell missed her first target in the semifinals but hit twelves of the next fourteen to get into a shoot-off where where qualified for the gold medal final. Cogdell would miss four times and finish with the silver but it was a big showing for the 29-year-old who is looking for her second Olympic medal in Rio. In qualifying Cogdell had a 22 in her third round that nearly cost her a semifinal berth but she finished in a tie for 6th with 70 and won a shoot-off to stay alive.

With no men’s trap competitors the next US action will be when Joshua Richmond and Walton Eller, both 2016 Olympic qualifiers, compete in the double trap on Monday. Both the qualifiers and final are on Monday. Both are contenders with Richmond having two top ten finishes but yet to reach a final in 2016 while Eller won bronze in Rio.
