Lincoln- The Nebraska rifle team defeated TCU in an air rifle-only shoot Saturday at the NU Rifle Range, 2,310-2,199. The Huskers used the match against the Horned Frogs as an opportunity to engage many of the younger shooters in team competition, and the experiment proved successful.
Freshman Kim Chrostowski led the way for the team, recording a 583 in the regulation shoot. Sophomore Kristina Fehlings won the individual crown, shooting a match-high 588 in regulation and recording a 99 in the finals. The six Husker shooters held the six top spots in the individual competition against a young TCU team.
Head Coach Launi Meili was pleased with the performance, noting the strong efforts of the freshman.
“The new team members are definitely progressing and are on track,” Meili said. “Each of them either shot at or above their goal, so I was pleased with their performance.”
The Huskers return to action on Nov. 13 when they head to Cincinnati to participate in the Walsh Invitational.
