Paralympic United States Army Marksmanship Unit team member Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Olson finished first in the Standing 3-P Metallic Sight Match. With a score of 399-29x, Olson also managed to break fellow USAMU team member Matthew Rawling’s National Championship record by four points. Hopefully Olson will perform as well when competing in the Paralympic London 2012 Mixed 50m Prone Rifle and Mixed 10m Air Rifle events.
