Catherine Green has advanced to the National Junior Shooting Sports shoulder-to-shoulder competition finals! A member and co-captain of the Newport Rifle Club's Junior Team, Catherine will be competing this summer at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Sponsored by American Legion Post 18-Portsmouth, R.I., the team is coached by former champion athlete Michele Makucevich (bellyshooter@cox.net). The team will also be competing at the team level.

Good luck, ladies (our team qualifiers all happen to be young ladies this year, even though there are young men on the team)!
