Outdoor Nationals
February 23rd 2023DAY 4 - The biggest success so far of the TSNZ Nationals happened this morning in the Womens National Champs - we finally had a squad without any overloads or crossfires. Go the Women! The Women’s squad however was breezy with the occasional calm patch, with wind ranging from 15-20 kph. This wind condition continued through out the day with peaks in the third men’s squad of 15-25 kph.
The Women’s National Championship was won by Shania Harrison-Lee with 620.2 (592), second place Stephanie McNair not too far behind with 618.3 (589), and third place went to Denva Wren with 608.8 (582).
The men shot their Elimination match today spead over two details, with top score being Ryan Taylor with 621.2 (593) in the first detail, and Ryan Booth in second place with 612.5 (583) followed closely by Jon Phillipps with 610.3 (584). The top 10 men from each detail go forward to the Qualification Match tomorrow, when the Men's National Championship will be decided.
The Women's NZ Randle team finished off their day with a practice at 100 yards in the rain to get ready for their match tomorrow morning, where they will shoot a dual-distance match of 20 shots over each of 50yds and 100yds against UK and USA. Congratulations to those women who have qualified for the Randle Team this year.
Island Teams and NZ Teams to shoot the Wakefield, Slazenger, and Drew matches have also been decided after the matches today. Congratulations to all those who made the 2023 teams, especially those for whom this might be their first time shooting for New Zealand.
The most loved part of today was a mixture of hot coffee from the coffee van on site, and the fire lit in the club rooms which kept everyone warm on a gloomy 10 degree day.
