Our alumni firers continue with their passion for the sport and continue to demonstrate their success in this area. On Day 15 of the South Africa Tour in March the Great Britain Under 25 Rifle Shooting team produced a spectacular display of wind-reading at 900m to win their Team World Championship over the USA in second place.
SHE IS TRULY AN AMAZING SHOT AND BRADFIELD CAN BE PROUD THAT SHE IS ONE OF OUR OWN AND PERFORMING BRILLIANTLY ON THE WORLD STAGE.
Owing to delays in the competition due to Covid, as a 21 year old Christina was also able to shoot individually for the U21 cup where she was placed second.
In 2023 Christina graduated with a Psychology degree from Durham University, where she was also Captain of the University Rifle Club. This year, she has taken a year out to shoot, work a ski season in France, climb to Everest Base Camp and travel around South-East Asia. She has also helped to coach the Bradfield Shooting team where her support has been much appreciated. Upon returning from her travels she hopes to move to London and find a job in the City.
Christina was not the only Old Bradfieldian in South Africa, Lucy Mace (I 91-93) shot as an individual, Rory Mace (G 18-23) shot for the GB Under 21, Nick Tremlett (A 72-76) was GB Palma Team (Vice Captain). The next big test for the Alumni shooting team will be the Tremlett Trophy annual match versus the College on Winter Bradfield Day, Sunday 11 December. Last year it was a draw, who will prevail in 2024?
