LT Amber English won gold and broke record

Bravo Zulu 1LT Smith!
That must have been a nerve-wrecking, hair-curdling moment towards victory with a margin that small....or just totally jedi-in-the-zone flow mode and it was "just another training day"

Having sucked in skeet (<30% hit) for many years and seen the AMU skeet training, I can appreciate the level of dedication and focus (and luck?) to accomplish what she did.

I came across several soldiers in the Army's World Class Athlete Program when I competed at Benning. Master Gene Econ here used to discuss people who operate at different level. These folks are them.
