My cousin's daughter is an excellent target shooter. She's good with a rifle. She was recently in some statewide competition. In between rounds she was walking along a lake and fell in. The water was over her head so she was soaked. A friend had some sweat pants she could borrow, and she had an extra t-shirt along. She ended up taking second place overall, so she had to walk across the stage and accept her award while dressed like that, and with wet hair. Twice, in fact, because the winner had to leave and asked her to accept his award for him.
She's twelve years old, and is traveling out of state to compete.

She's been to Colorado more than once, and is going to Atlanta soon.
