  • A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013
    A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013 By Hap Rocketto August 25, 2013 i Acknowledgement This history is an attempt to capture the events and personalities that make the National Rifle Association’s National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championship such a powerful and interesting story. Covering the years 1919 through 2002 was done under the auspices of the NRA’s publications division, as source material for The National Matches: 1903-2003 The First 100 Years. The reports of the years 2003-2010 were written for, and published by, Precision Shooting Magazine until that publication’s demise and thereafter they were specifically written for this history. This is not a formal history in the sense that bibliography is not appended nor are sources cited. However, much of this story was collected from the rich store of information archived in the written reports found in the shooting journals Arms and the Man, The American Rifleman, Tournament News, Shooting Sports USA, and Precision Shooting Magazine as well as the programs and bulletins of The National Matches and NRA Shooting Trophies. To these writers, the many anonymous NRA staff writers who reported on the events at Camp Perry without a byline, Kendrick Scofield, Edward C. Crossman, Walter Stokes, C.S.

    USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: Mary Lee Tracy on Coaching Elite Gymnastics Page 1 of 4 Mary Lee Tracy on Coaching Elite Gymnastics Mary Lee Tracy has served as part the Olympic coaching staff at last two Olympic Games in 1996 and 2000. In fact, she was the assistant coach to the 1996 Olympic Team which won the first Olympic Gold medal. She was also the assistant coach in 2000 but withdrew her position when her athlete on the competitive team was injured and could not compete. Mary Lee has coached numerous World and Olympic Team members including her first elite gymnast Amanda Borden plus Jaycie Phelps, Morgan White, Alyssa Beckerman, and Jennie Thompson, just to name a few. Mary Lee owns and operates Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy in Fairfield, Ohio. We were able to talk to Mary Lee about some of her experiences she's learned along the way. Here's what she had to say. Q: When did you begin coaching elite gymnastics? A: I began coaching elite gymnastics in 1990. Amanda Borden was my first elite. Q: Has it been what you expected? A: Coaching elite gymnastics has been more challenging and more time consuming than I had ever imagined. Coaching at this level has forced me to grow in every area of my life. Because of the time commitments with the athletes, the deep relationships that have formed have been a very fun and rewarding part for me. Q: What are the pros and cons of coaching elite women's gymnastics and being in the spotlight? A: PROS: CONS: 1.
