January 11th, 2025 Match Results

It was a cold match today, being January in Salt Lake City, we expected it.  Weatherman called for snow all day and winds as high as 20mph.  We did end up with temps in the 20’s to low 30’s all day, but the snow was only light intermittent flurries.  The winds were there to give us some headaches and misses, but still, nowhere near 20mph and only around 7-10 mph with the gusts.  It was cold for sure, but our shooters brought plenty of heat!

Stephanie Baxter continues to be ON FIRE!  She lands 1st place in Ladies Division AND first place OVERALL!  Stephanie scorched the match with a blistering 774.2 points, dropping only 1 shot for the entire match!  WTG Stephanie.  Not too far behind her was Joely Pratt, landing a solid 2nd place silver with 694.3 points, putting her 14th place overall!  We only had two competitors in the Ladies Division this month, but what a show they put on!  Awesome job Ladies.

Open Division had 3 competitors battling it out till the very last stage with only 1 impact separating the positions!  After the gunpowder settled, Brandon Caldwell brought just enough heat to land 1st place Gold with 745.2 points.  One impact behind sits Jordan Baugh who snags 2nd place silver with 732.5 points, barely 1 impact ahead of Dario Perez who takes home 3rd place bronze with 723.8 points.  Now that is some serious competition, great shooting Open Division.
