FWST: After chasing Olympic dream, Scherer ready for shot at real life

RIO DE JANEIRO – Former TCU shooter Sarah Scherer didn’t anticipate being disappointed when she overcame back surgery to return to the Olympics this year in Rio.
And despite two underwhelming performances in the 10-meter air rifle and 50-meter three-position events that fell short of her goal of wearing an Olympic medal, the former Horned Frog said Thursday she’s looking forward to life beyond training for the Games.
“There are things about this that could have been better,†Scherer said Thursday after finishing 33rd in the 40-person three-position qualifier, which featured 20 shots each from the kneeling, prone and standing positions. “But at the same time, you have to look at the big picture.â€
