Sullivan said that Natalie was slow in starting, took a while to settle in. She took a large number of practice shots before shooting. Kosmala shot 99/100 in the span it took Natalie to take her first shot according to Sullivan. The board confirmed this score of 99. With 5 shots into the second round, she had 49/50, getting a 9 on the fifth shot. The board shows that Smith shot 80/80 in her first 8 shots in her first round.--LauraHale (talk) 08:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
