Rifle team receives honors at two meets over weekend

Led by its second-straight individual school-record performance, the rifle team took first place Saturday afternoon at the University of Memphis. It was their second tournament of the day as the Frogs opened with a second-place finish at Ole Miss.

Senior Stacy Hughes won the individual title at Memphis with a TCU-record 391 air rifle score. This broke the previous school-best mark of 387 set by freshman Celeste Green.

TCU’s freshmen Sherri Gallagher and Green placed third and fourth individually with scores of 381 and 380, respectively, to seal the win over the Tigers.

In the morning meet at Ole Miss, Hughes, Gallagher and Green placed second through fourth, respectively, as the Frogs took second. The Rebels won the meet with 1,520 points, 10 ahead of TCU’s 1,510.

Sophomore Alisha Fields led TCU’s white team with scores of 365 at Ole Miss and 363 at Memphis.

The Frogs will return to host the annual Horned Frog Invitational October Friday through Sunday and Oct. 11 to 13 at the TCU Rifle Range.
