Team USA’s Rylan Kissell, a student-athlete at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, and Katie Zaun, a student-athlete at Texas Christian University, this week captured a pair of bronze medals together at the 2022 ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Championships in Cairo, Egypt.

Kissell and Zaun first medal arrived on October 16 after a third place finish in the 50m Rifle Prone Junior Mixed Team event, defeating Nischal Nischal and Surya Pratap of India in the bronze medal match, 16-6.

Next, the American duo earned another smallbore rifle title in the 50m Rifle 3-Position Junior Mixed Team event. Kissell and Zaun secured their medals after beating Hungarian shooters Gitta Bajos and Andras Denes in the bronze medal match, 16-10.

In addition, Kissell won the 2022 ISSF World Championship title in the 50m Rifle 3-Position Junior Men’s Team event with USA Shooting teammates Braden Peiser and Gavin Barnick over the Ukrainian team, 16-10. Kissell’s medal count didn’t stop there, though. He also secured a bronze medal, alongside United States Air Force Academy hotshot Scott Rockett and Benjamin Salas, in the 10m Air Rifle Junior Men’s Team event against the Austrian team, 17-7.

Zaun also competed in more than Mixed Team events at the 2022 ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Championships. The Buffalo, North Dakota, native placed fifth in the 50m Rifle 3-Position Junior Women’s event after beating the sixth-place Chinese team.

Kissell, a resident of Littleton, Colorado, also participated in the 10m Air Rifle Junior Mixed Team competition with Camryn Camp, finishing the event in fourth place.
