Cheramie Earns Three All-America Awards

Nebraska's Emily Cheramie became the first shooter in school history to earn three All-America certificates in a single-season, as the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) announced its 2021 All-America teams on Wednesday.

Cheramie collected All-America awards in the smallbore (second team), air rifle (honorable mention) and the aggregate (third team), as she led the Huskers in smallbore (584.44), air rifle (591.44) and aggregate (1175.88) during the 2020-21 season. It marked the first All-America honors of her career, as she joined Kristina Fehlings (2005), Lauren Phillips (2014), Denise Martin (2014) and Rachel Martin (2015) in earning multiple All-America honors in a season.

"Emily thrived in a year full of hardships and unknowns, Martin said of the Husker senior. "She is the first Husker to make NCAA finals since myself back in 2017. I am very proud of her and the work that she has put in this year."

Cheramie's second-team certificate in the smallbore is the highest recognition a Husker shooter has received since Denise Martin (smallbore) and Katelyn Woltersdorf
(air rifle) were second-team All-Americans in 2013.

Today's honors capped a strong 2021 campaign for Cheramie, who led the Huskers to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. She qualified for the NCAA finals in smallbore, where she finished eighth nationally, and was named Great American Rifle Conference Senior of the Year.
