OXFORD, Miss. - Day two of the Great American Rifle Conference Championships (GARC) Saturday, crowned the individual and team smallbore champions and saw Ole Miss freshman Jessica Haig (Constableville, N.Y.) post a career-best at the Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center.
Haig fired a 579, including a perfect 100 string in kneeling. She bested her previous career-high by six shots, and missed the finals by two spots, finishing 10th.
Sophomore Alison Weisz, who qualified for the NCAA Championships in smallbore, shot a 572 as the Rebels finished the day with their second best smallbore score of the season at 2282.
"The girls did a great job today," head coach Valerie Boothe said. "We got a personal best out of Jessica, and it was our second best smallbore of the season. We are looking forward to closing out the tournament with air tomorrow."
Kentucky edged No. 1 West Virginia for the team smallbore title. Both teams were tied at 2323, but the Wildcats had 120 centers to WVU's 115. Wildcat Connor Davis took the individual title in an exciting final. Akron's Max Chezem finished second, and West Virginia's Garrett Spurgeon came in third.
The championships conclude Sunday with air rifle. The first relay begins at 8 a.m. followed by the second relay at 10:15. The finals will be at 12:15 p.m. Kristyn Trump, Sarah Emery and Nicolle Thiry will be in the first relay, while Haig and Weisz are in the second relay.
