Team GLOCK’s Sevigny and Rogers Earn Top Finishes at World Class Steel Northeast Championship

SMYRNA, Ga. (June 8, 2010) – Team GLOCK had a strong showing at the World Class Steel-Northeast Regional Championship in Old Bridge, NJ, held June 4-6. Team GLOCK Captain Dave Sevigny won the high overall championship in the Open division and finished 2nd overall in the Iron division. Teammate Randi Rogers finished 4th overall in the Iron division and 10th overall in the Open division. Both Sevigny and Rogers used a GLOCK 34 for Iron division and a GLOCK 17 by S&J Customs in the Open division.

Competitors from all parts of the country, including several top ranked Steel Challenge champions, accounted for the 200- plus entries. The annual Steel Challenge sanctioned tournament featured seven courses of fire and 175 minimum rounds of ammunition. GLOCK has been a sponsor for the World Class Steel tournament for several years; however, this was Team GLOCK’s first appearance at the event.

In the Open match, Dave Sevigny secured the win by shooting a fast time of 2.15 seconds and posting average scores of 2.33 seconds during the final stage of the day. Named the “Zig-Zag,” this stage hosts an array of staggered 12″ steel plates at distances of 18 to 60 feet. Sevigny said, “It is extremely satisfying to win another Open championship. With only 1.09 seconds separated first through third place, it proves that the margin of victory is not forgiving and that the competition is always tough at this level.”

Along with her top placement in both matches, Randi Rogers shot an Iron division overall stage win on the stage named “Five to Go.” Rogers added, “The World Class Steel in Old Bridge was an excellent Steel Challenge match. It was challenging to shoot at Bianchi and then switch gears to shoot Steel Challenge less than a week later. I am pleased with my performance and look forward to competing in more Steel Challenge matches later this season.”

“It is always a significant victory when Team GLOCK wins an Open division Steel Challenge tournament,” said Gary Fletcher, GLOCK, Inc. VP. “GLOCK has proven to be a diverse platform in both the iron sight and open steel shooting disciplines in recent weeks. This reinforces how Team GLOCK’s top level performance at a variety of competitions in recent years has proven the reliability and accuracy of our products.”

Team GLOCK will next compete when Dave Sevigny enters the USPSA Area 5 Championship beginning on June 10 in Polo, IL. Randi Rogers competes at the IDPA Carolina Cup beginning on June 17 in Oxford, NC.
