INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – For the tenth time in the program's history, the Jacksonville State rifle team will compete for a national championship as the Gamecocks were selected as one of the eight teams to vie for the 2011 NCAA Rifle Title.
Hosted by Columbus State University, the championships will be held March 11-12 in Columbus, Ga., at the Frank G. Lumpkin Jr. Center on the Columbus State campus and the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning.
The top eight teams in both the smallbore three-position and air rifle events were selected based on the average of the three highest regular-season aggregate scores with no more than one match at any given site. The average of the three highest scores was added to the aggregate scores from the designated qualifiers to determine the top eight teams.
Joining Jax State will be defending national champion Texas Christian University, Alaska-Fairbanks, Kentucky, Ohio Valley Conference foe Murray State, U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy and West Virginia.
JSU returns to the championship field after a one-year absence a year ago. The Red and White finished runner-up in 2005 as Army edged the Gamecocks by one point, 4,659-4,658. Junior Brian Carstensen will look to repeat his performance in 2009 as he claimed the smallbore individual crown.
Individual and team competitions in smallbore three-position (60 shots) will be held Friday, March 11. Individual and team competitions in air rifle (60 shots) will be held Saturday, March 12. The overall team champion will be determined by combining the smallbore and air rifle team total scores into one aggregate score for each institution.
