I am so grateful to have amazing teammates and sponsors that have made this dream a possibility. I fall in love with this sport more and more every tournament I attend, every clay target I shoot and every person I meet. Although this will be one of the highest achievements of my shooting career, I am excited for this journey to continue.”
