Fabry qualifies at Worlds with record-breaking performance

MASSA-CARRARA, Italy - Jeff Fabry (Tulare, Calif.) blew away the Men's W1 Recurve field with a world record-breaking performance in the qualifying round of the 2005 International Paralympic Committee Archery World Championships in Massa-Carrara, Italy on Wednesday.

Fabry finished the four-distance, 144-shot round with a score of 1,378 points, setting a new world record in the W1 class. He also set world records at all four individual distances, including a 357-point round from 30 meters. Fabry drilled 90 shots for 10 points, including 40 bull's-eyes.

The second half of the qualifying round also saw three other Americans make strong pushes up the standings in their respective categories.

T.J. Pemberton made a charge into the top-10 in the Men's Open Compound category after a strong finish, where he scored 353 points from 30 meters to bring his qualifying total to 1,315. Joseph Bailey (1,301 points) climbed 10 spots to 15th place after a 355-point round from the same distance.

Kevin Stone (Cookeville, Tenn.) moved into 10th place in the Men's W2 Recurve category after a admittedly disappointing day on Tuesday. He shot rounds of 302 and 333 points from 50 and 30 meters, respectively, and finished the qualifying round with a total of 1,182.

Russell Wolfe finished the qualifying round in the Men's Open Compound in 35th place with 1,246 points.
