    U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Adam Sokolowski of Somerville, New Jersey, fires his pistol in the rain during his last stage, The Falling Plate Event, at the Bianchi Cup in Columbia, Missouri May 25. Sokolowski, the team chief of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit’s Service Pistol Team, made history by winning the Open Division and 2018 Overall Bianchi Cup Champion title, making it his third consecutive win in three separate divisions—something no one else has ever accomplished in the 40-year-old competition. What’s even more interesting, is that the Soldier just started shooting the Bianchi Cup discipline four years ago. After learning the discipline in 2015, in 2016, he won the Production Division Champion title. In 2017, he not only won the Metallic Division Champion title, he set a record for the first-ever perfect score of 1920 with an iron sight gun. And in 2018, he won the Open Division, beating out the reigning 18-year Champion Doug Koenig. (U.S. Army photo by Michelle Lunato/released
