Rifle Continues Improvement in Smallbore
2/9/2016 | Rifle
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. -- The No. 15 ranked Ole Miss rifle team continued its improvement in smallbore firing a season-high 2291, but unfortunately, the Rebels did not fare as well in air rifle, shooting a 2331 for a total aggregate of 4622 against No. 9 Memphis (4644) Tuesday at the Gamecock Rifle Range.
Smallbore...
The Rebels have been working a lot on smallbore since returning from the holiday break, and it has showed. In their first tournament back, the Rebels posted a season-high and they bested that by one Tuesday with a 2291. Freshman Harley Gardner, sophomore Jessica Haig and freshman Randi Loudin finished with a 573 to lead the Rebels. Loudin finished two shy of her personal best.
Air Rifle...
In air rifle, Ole Miss fired a 2331 led by a 587 from Alison Weisz. Jessica Haig turned in a 584, and Kristyn Trump posted a 582.
Quoting Head Coach Valerie Boothe...
"I feel that we are still heading in the right direction. Smallbore continues to improve and now we just have to get both guns on the same day. Today was great training for this weekend."
Next up...
The Rebels return home before heading to Annapolis, Maryland this weekend for two matches first against No. 8 Nebraska followed by No. 14 Navy.
