West Virginia University rifle senior Ziva Dvorsak competed in the women’s 50m rifle 3 positions competition today at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championship in Granada, Spain.
Dvorsak, shooting for her home country of Slovenia, scored 577 (190 kneeling, 196 prone, 191 standing) for 39th overall.
"Last year I would have been happy with that score," Dvorsak said. "I know what progress I've made since I came to WVU, and I am definitely capable of shooting at least a few points better. Jon also stood behind me during every match, which I want to thank him for."
Three time NCAA Champion and former Mountaineer Petra Zublasing finished fifth overall and fourth in the final, scoring 434.2 (152.1 kneeling, 153.7 prone, 128.4 standing).
Competition continues tomorrow with the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions.
The championship, held every four years and in between Olympic Games, is the first competition in which shooters have the opportunity to earn Olympic quota places, a starting position to send athletes to the next Olympics.
