2012 NCAA Rifle Championship

Post date: Mar 9, 2012 2:39:34 AM

Eight teams will compete for the national crown at the NCAA Men's and Women's Rifle Championships Friday & Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.

The top eight teams in both the smallbore three-position and air rifle events were selected based on the average of the three highest regular-season aggregate scores with no more than one match at any given site. The average of the three highest scores was added to the aggregate scores from the designated qualifiers to determine the top eight teams.

Individual and team competitions in smallbore three-position (60 shots) will be held Friday, March 9. Individual and team competitions in air rifle (60 shots) will be held Saturday, March 10. The overall team champion will be determined by combining the smallbore and air rifle team total scores into one aggregate score for each institution.

and a quick note from Dan Jordan, Rifle Coach for the Alaska Team

As we head into the weekend, it proves to be an exciting one! March 9

and 10 is the culmination of our season at the 2012 NCAA Men's and

Women's Rifle Championships at The Ohio State University in Columbus,

Ohio. We are going into the weekend ranked 5th in nation and coming

off 2 season highs in the last regular season match of the year and

our Qualifier for this event. There are some very strong teams out

there this year including Texas Christian University, University of

Kentucky, and West Virginia University. We have been gaining

confidence and experience as we go into the match with 3 freshmen and

2 sophmores on the firing squad. It should be fun to watch. Below

are some links to relevant info and websites to follow along.
