Season Outlook (2016-17)
Jaycee Carter will be looked to for leadership both on and off the range, as one of only three upperclassmen on a young Husker squad. The Live Oak, Calif., native broke the Nebraska junior class record for average air rifle score with an average of 589.40 in 2015-16.
As a junior she competed in every match for the Huskers in both smallbore and air rifle. She helped carry the team into the postseason, including an eighth-place NCAA finish and a sixth-place GARC finish. She earned a career-best in air rifle (594) last season and a season-best score of 574 in smallbore.
Carter is a returning All-American and hopes to lead the team back to the NCAA Championships for the fifth consecutive season and take aim at a national title in her final season at Nebraska.
Carter has a reputation for being a star in the classroom as well and is expected to represent the team in the same manner this season. She is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten pick and has been named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll each semester she has been enrolled at Nebraska.

Carter played an important role in the team's fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. She tallied a 591 in air rifle to lead the Huskers in the discipline. She helped carry the team to an eighth-place national finish in 2016.
Carter's success extended off the range as well. In the classroom, she earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll for the sixth consecutive semester in the spring of 2016. Additionally she was named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for the third consecutive year for her efforts in the community.
Sophomore (2014-15)
Carter became an important part of the team as a sophomore, appearing 15 times in air rifle and 14 times in smallbore. She competed at the NCAA Championships, helping Nebraska finish fourth overall. Carter tied her career-best air rifle score (593) twice against West Virginia and TCU. She was named an honorable-mention All-American by the NRA for her efforts in air rifle on the season. An academic All-Big Ten choice, Carter also claimed a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
