CRESTON — Southwestern Community College (SWCC) sports shooter Shelby Woods, freshman from Madison, Mo., has been selected to attend USA Shooting’s Olympic Training Camp from June 20-25, at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Woods shot 97 of 100, giving her a ninth place finish in the women’s division, at the Association of College Unions International Collegiate Clay Target Championships in San Antonio, TX, from March 24-27. By shooting a score of 95 or better, she received the opportunity to apply for the United States Olympic training camp. She was notified of her selection earlier this month.
Charlie Mundy, SWCC sports shooting coach, will be in attendance at the United States Olympic training camp in June, as well. He was asked to coach during the coach development training camp happening that same week.
Woods will complete the first year of SWCC’s auto collision repair/refinish program in June. In the fall, she will return for her second year of the program, with a goal of earning her Associate of Applied Science Degree in auto collision repair/refinish in 2016.
According to its website, the Olympic Shooting Center is the largest indoor shooting facility in the western hemisphere and the third largest in the world. Three separate ranges provide 29 firing points from 50 meters and 73 firing points from 10 meters for training and competitions.
In addition to the indoor ranges, the outdoor ranges at the International Shooting Park are also used by U.S. shooting team members.
