JACKSONVILLE – The nationally-ranked Jacksonville State rifle team opened the 2017-18 campaign with a solid outing at the University of Memphis Tiger Open and the Ole Miss Invitational.
The Gamecocks finished third in the Tiger Open with an aggregate score of 4630 and were four marks shy of second place Navy. JSU turned in a 4653 on Sunday in Oxford, Mississippi. The Ole Miss-hosted event runs throughout this week, so the Gamecocks will not know the team standings until all squads shave participated in the event. Jax State tallied a 2297 in smallbore and 2333 in air rifle at Memphis. JSU improved its marks at Ole Miss in both portions with a 2316 in air rifle and a 2337 in air rifle.
JSU was led by junior David Sink at Memphis with a 581 in smallbore and a 586 in air rifle. The Crumpton, Maryland native placed seventh on the individual leaderboard with a composite score of 1167. Sink was one of two Gamecocks to earn a spot as an individual at the 2017 NCAA Rifle Championships. Sophomore Zach Schmidt matched Sink in smallbore and added a 579 in air rifle. Trace Haynes posted a 585 in air rifle to boost the club's mark in that area along with Carter Santrock's 583.
Sink followed his mark of 586 with a 587 in air rifle at Ole Miss, while getting support from Schmidt's 586 and Santrock's 583. Haynes had the best mark of the Gamecocks' scorecard in smallbore with a 585.
The Gamecocks return to action on October 7 at The Citadel.
