LAURYN MARK

 
Lauryn Mark
 

In 1999 Lauryn Mark created history by becoming the youngest competitor ever to win the United States Open Women's Skeet Championship. This win underlined the enormous potential she had shown since first competing as an eleven year old in her native California in the United States. Lauryn's first International competition for the United States was in 1997 at the World Championships in Peru. Since then she has competed with distinction at competitions in Italy, Spain, USA, Australia, England, Finland, Cyprus, Egypt, Korea and Qatar. Lauryn has now completed her shooting career for the USA and is now pursuing her goals as an Australian. The 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester was Lauryn's first real test competing for her newly adopted country. She came through with flying colours winning both the Teams and Individual Gold Medals. In the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne she neared duplicating her performance four years earlier but after a sudden death shoot off for four positions she managed to secure an Individual Silver Medal and a Gold Medal in the teams event. Her return from the Athens Olympics with a respectable fourth place finish only one target short of what was need to shoot off for the Olympic Silver Medal and Olympic Bronze Medal and narrowly missing selection for the Beijing Olympic Team will no doubt spur her on to London 2012.
