After winning the smallbore individual national championship on Friday in Murray, Ky., Tim Sherry has been named the Ravn Alaska Nanook of the Week.
Sherry, in his first appearance at the NCAA Championships, won the individual title by four-tenths of a point to become the first individual champion for the Nanooks since 2008 and first small bore champion since 2006.
In 2008, Patrik Sartz won the air rifle title while Olympic gold medalist Jaime Gray won the smallbore title in 2006.
In the team match, Sherry had the third highest score in the nation and best on the Nanooks at 586.
He also qualified for the air rifle individual final where he finished seventh.
This is the second time that Sherry has been named Nanook of the Week. He won the award for the week ending Nov. 24.
