Susan Maree Trindall (born 5 May 1983) is an Australian sport shooter. [2] She has won a career tally of five medals, including a gold in women's double trap shooting under junior division at the 2001 ISSF World Championships in Cairo, Egypt, and had a golden opportunity to represent Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. [1] Trindall is also a member of Showman's Clay Target Shooting Range and the Australian Clay Target Shooting Association, where she trains full-time under head coach Greg Chan. [1] [3]

Born in Brisbane, Trindall made her first and only Australian squad, along with teammate Suzanne Balogh in the women's double trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She achieved a minimum qualifying score of 102 to fill out one of the Olympic places awarded to the Aussie team at the 2003 ISSF World Cup meet in Granada, Spain. [3] [4] [5] Trindall shot 107 hits out of 120 to force a seventh-place tie with Chinese Taipei's Lin Yi-chun in the qualifying round, narrowly missing out the final by just a single target. [6]
