Babcock recorded a 594 in air rifle and a 582 in smallbore. He placed second in air rifle behind Iannotti and in smallbore, UTM's Alayna Walther finished one point ahead of him in smallbore.

Freshman Kyle Orr, junior Lars Lilleng and junior Kim Jettenberg rounded out the top-five on the individual standings list. Orr turned in a total of 1164 after a 588 in air rifle and a 576 in smallbore to claim third place.
