From Ft.Meade, MD, Trish is a key factor in the Mountaineers drive for top National rating. Her 285 score at Johnson City, TN, established a new women's natl. open record for int'l competition. She placed second in the Kansas State Invitational, the largest collegiate rifle tournament in the nation. The record-breaking sophomore is piling up evidence to support her bid to become the first woman, All-American since 1961. She competed in junior tournaments against such current mountaineer stars as Jack Writer, Dean Bahrmen, Andy Holoubek and Jerry Luh and "they made me come here." she said. An arts and sciences major as a freshman, she switched to a pre-med curriculum last fall.
