Corey grew up hunting with her father. She began at age three, which fostered a love for shooting. A few years later, she joined the 4-H program and started to develop her trap shooting skills. The experience hooked her on the sport, and pushed her to seek out teaching resources from others in the field. At each competition she picked up shooting tips from other shotgun shooters, learned to self analyze from her first coach and even traveled for a lesson alongside four-time Olympian Bret Erickson.

Corey has only been shooting International Trap competitively for a little over three years. She made the National Development Team in 2006 at Fall Selection when she placed first in the Junior Women’s Trap competition. That same day, she made the National Team when her score also placed her third in the Open Women’s Trap competition. In 2007, Cogdell captured the bronze medal at the World Cup in Korea, which was her first international competition. Shortly after, Cogdell captured the bronze at the 2007 Pan American Games. She earned a spot on her first U.S. Olympic Team in March of 2008, after coming back from a sixth place finish and eight targets away from first place at the first Olympic Selection Match. Cogdell jumped up into first place on the first day of the Olympic Trials and never looked back, finishing on top with a 12 target lead and earning the one spot available in Women’s Trap to the 2008 U.S. Olympic team. In August of 2008, Corey won the bronze medal at her first ever Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Corey worked in a cooking school for two years as an assistant chef. As part of her job, she traveled to Italy to study how to prepare authentic Italian food. Corey also has a love of old cars, in particular Jeeps and Mustangs. Corey didn’t go to traditional school, she was home schooled and received her high school diploma in May of 2005. Corey is currently living at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. as a resident athlete.

Beyond the shooting range, she has a wide range of interests. Corey played basketball in grade school and was a competitive skier as a teen. Most recently, she began to climb under the hood and rebuild cars. She can add gears, take apart the transmission and even build the suspension.

In her free time, Corey enjoys riding motorcycles, rock climbing, hunting, fishing and downhill skiing.
