\"SSSFd3-DRTV-1\"<\/a>Coach Rick Leach of the Ozaukee Scholastic Shooting Sports (Wisconsin) had a lot to be happy about this morning. Coming off the Scholastic Pistol Program ranges his team of 13 shooters finished the match strong. Real strong.<\/p>\n

After going over the times, and double checking his math, Coach Leach confirmed that 10 of his 13 athletes had shot new personal records, and at the best possible time too, during the National Team Championships.<\/p>\n

While each was a significant accomplishment both for the team and its coach, Leach couldn\u2019t conceal his pride in the fact that one of those record times was that of his daughter Mikaela, who three years ago shot over 400 seconds at her first Nationals and was hoping this year to just break 100.<\/p>\n

She finished this morning\u2019s match with a time of 87.95 seconds.<\/p>\n

Mikaela, who had already competed in the Sporting Clays and Skeet Nationals \u2013 where she also shot a personal best \u2013 is out on the trap fields competing in her fourth Nationals this week, the American Trap Team National Championship.<\/p>\n

She freely admits to having what she calls \u201ca gun powder addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course she couldn\u2019t leave the pistol range without first reporting in to Ed Fitzgerald of Glock. Fitzgerald was there in 2013 when she first shot the Nationals and jumped in with some much needed shooting advice when Mikaela was struggling and missing more than she was hitting. So you could say he\u2019s a little invested in Mikaela\u2019s success and was happy to hear how her match went today\u2026and it didn\u2019t hurt that she blew through her sub 100 second goal with a Glock model 34 pistol.<\/p>\n
