JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State Rifle targeted a team aggregate score of 4,629 to edge out Nevada with 4,571 points and Memphis with 4,533 points at the Gamecock Rifle Range on Saturday.
The Gamecocks, who won their fifth straight match, had score of 2,306 in the smallbore and then fired 2,323 points in the air rifle. Nevada finished with 2,277 in the smallbore and with 2,294 points in the air rifle while Memphis had 2,239 points in the smallbore and 2,294 points in the air rifle.
“It was a great match,” said Head Coach Ron Frost. “Our smallbore is coming along, yet we were a bit weak in the air rifle for this match. The team had some doubts about this one, especially seeing some of the formidable scores that Nevada has posted these past few weeks. Two of our usual "high" air shooters had a bad day, shooting below their averages, yet their teammates were able to step up to the plate and still give us a solid, respectable score.”
Michael Dickinson led JSU with 583 points in the smallbore followed by Phillip Huckaby with 578 points. Nevada's Dempster Christenson was third with 576 points and Brian Carstensen was fourth with 575 points. Andy Hickey totaled 571 points to round out the top five shooters in the smallbore.
Carstensen and Nevada's Leah Taboada tied for first with 586 points in the air rifle. Dickinson finished third with 585 points and Memphis' Andrew Hahn took fourth with 580 points. Huckaby totaled 577 points to finish fifth.
Jacksonville State travels to Murray, Ky., next Saturday for a shoulder-to-shoulder match with Murray State.
