2012 Rhode Island NRA Indoor Metric Position Championship
Lisette Grunwell-Lacey, representing Connecticut’s Niantic Sportsmen’s Club, opened the 2012 Rhode Island NRA Indoor Metric Position Championship with a perfect card prone and never looked back. She dominated the field on her way to a winning 580X600, while taking all three sub aggregate matches along the way with a 198X200 prone, a 186X200 standing and a 196X200 kneeling.
The real contest developed between Joe Graf, of Smithfield, and Erik Sloan, a Niantic junior. Sloan took a four point lead out of prone, 196 to 192. Graff bounced back standing with a 174 to Sloan’s 167, setting up a showdown in kneeling with Graf who held a slim three point lead.
Sloan opened up kneeling with a 92 and Graf carded an 89. Their scores were tied going into the last ten shots. Graf bore down and posted a 93 to Sloan’s 88 and emerged ahead of the hard charging junior 548 to 543.
Graf was the high scoring resident and took home the George S. Melcher Cup, emblematic of the state championship, Sloan was high Marksman, and Grunwell-Lacey was match winner.
