K-State alum Derrick Mein returned from Paris Friday, though it wasn’t from any regular vacation.
The Paola native took fifth place in trap shooting at the Olympic Games late last month, his second time representing Team USA in the international competition.
“I thought I had a pretty good performance,” Mein said. “I would have liked to have made it just a little bit farther and brought home a medal, but I got closer than anybody’s been from the U.S. in 20 years in my event.”
