Alexis “Lexi” Lagan has officially earned her spot on Team USA for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after a standout performance at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials held in Anniston, Alabama earlier this year. Competing in the women’s air pistol event, Lexi secured one of the five coveted Olympic berths, marking her second time representing the United States at the Olympic Games.
For Alexis, this achievement reflects years of dedication, precision, and resilience. From her first days at the shooting range in Boulder City, Nevada, to her collegiate shooting career at the University of Utah, she has consistently demonstrated focus and commitment to her craft. “I’m thrilled to earn my spot on the Olympic team,” Lexi shared after the trials. “It wasn’t about perfection in my scores—it was about showing up and performing when it mattered most.”
This qualification is the culmination of an intensive training regimen that includes technical drills, mental preparation, and physical conditioning. Alexis emphasizes not just hitting the target, but also maintaining composure and adapting to unpredictable competition conditions. Her coaching and mentorship experiences also play a role, as teaching others has strengthened her own skills and mental focus under pressure.
Lexi’s Olympic journey began years ago. After attending the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio as a member of the USA Shooting social media team, she gained a behind-the-scenes perspective that shaped her approach to elite competition. By Tokyo 2020, she was ready to compete, despite facing setbacks including two bouts of COVID-19 during the Games. Her highest finish there was 16th in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event, along with strong placements in the 25-meter and 10-meter individual events.
Looking ahead to Paris 2024, Alexis is focused on balancing intense preparation with mindfulness and perspective. Her training includes daily sessions on the range, mental visualization exercises, and conditioning work to ensure consistency throughout the competition. Beyond her own performance, she continues to coach and mentor emerging athletes, sharing the lessons she has learned from nearly a decade of competitive shooting.
With Paris 2024 on the horizon, Alexis “Lexi” Lagan is ready to represent Team USA, demonstrate the power of disciplined preparation, and inspire the next generation of shooters. Fans, friends, and aspiring athletes can follow her journey on social media and through updates on her official website as she prepares for the Olympic stage once again.
