Sophomore Elizabeth Gratz, 2015 graduate Thomas Kyanko and current graduate assistant Dan Hermsmeier matched or exceed the 10th-place score at the 2015 USA Shooting Winter Airgun Championships, held last December, to advance to the final part of the Olympic Trials, set for June 3-5, at Camp Perry, Ohio. The trio will join 2016 graduate Garrett Spurgeon and 2010 graduate Bryant Wallizer; the duo qualified in December.
“This match was a successful result for Elizabeth, Dan and Thomas,” Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond said. “They’ve been training hard, and this keeps their Olympic dreams alive. It will be great to have such a good WVU representation at the final.
