Student Spotlight: Mackenzie Kring
Mackenzie’s dream in life is to become a Navy pilot, and to get into the Naval Academy, she needs a sport. Since both parents are retired police officers, she selected precision riflery. Mackenzie was a natural from the start and quickly made her way to ranking among the top three in the sport. She trains 50 hours a week at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs.
Because of Mackenzie’s demanding schedule, two years ago she enrolled at Colorado Connections Academy, which allows her to have a flexible schedule and the freedom she needs to train and travel for competitions. We applaud you, Mackenzie, for aiming high!
