LONDON (AP) — A central Pennsylvania competitor has won the gold medal in a shooting competition in the London Olympics.
Jamie Beyerle Gray won the women's 50-meter three-position qualifying on Saturday, setting two Olympic records along the way.
Gray, whose final score was 691.9 points, clinched gold on her final shot with a 10.8 — just 0.1 off what would have been perfect.
Ivana Maksimovic of Serbia won the silver, 4.4 points back. Adela Sykorova of the Czech Republic was third.
The 28-year-old from Lebanon, Pa., was the 2011 USA Shooting Rifle Athlete of the Year.
When she was known as Jamie Beyerle, she helped the University of Alaska Fairbanks capture four NCAA titles (2002-04 and in 2006). She won the NCAA individual air rifle title as a freshman in 2003.
