In the men’s race, Jake Brown finished 52nd with 3 misses. Next up was the single mixed relay in which Jake was joined by USBA teammate Joanne Reid. The pair placed 23rd with no penalties and 14 spares. In the mixed relay, Clare and Susan were joined by USBA teammates Leif Nordgren and Sean Doherty. This team placed 12th with two penalties and 12 spares. Susan shot clean in her first stage (without spares). The final race of the weekend was a mass start.
