Shortly after the games, Caruso continued her medal streak by winning two bronze in air rifle at the 2009 USA Shooting National Championships, and as a member of the U.S. shooting team, at the 2010 ISSF World Championships in Munich, Germany. In 2011, she set a games record of 497.8 points (396 in the preliminary and 101.8 in the final) by capturing the gold medal in the air rifle at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Caruso also sought to qualify for her third consecutive Olympics in London; however, she finished only in third place, and thereby missed out of the slot by nearly two points behind Sarah Scherer (1,792.1) at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Port Clinton, Ohio, with an aggregate score of 1,790.
