19/10 WILRC Day 4 (Final)

"Illegitimis non carborundum"
Said of winds our young lawyer from London
Who so steadily shot
That he won the Worlds pot
As he saw others with magpies undone.

Today was the last day of the World Individual Championships.  After 3 days and 2 and a third daily aggregates, the American Soldier of the Year, Sherri Gallagher, led the field.  Following in the top ten were Nick Tremlett, David Luckman and Jane Messer with many more of the team only a handful of points behind.  But, if the previous couple of days had been anything to go by, pretty much all of this could change when presented with the Belmont bluster.
