"I'm happy we are climbing up to be more competitive with the other Academies, but as we still have a young team, we still have a ways to go," said head coach Launi Meili. "Tom performed great in smallbore, winning the individual portion and shooting a personal best score. So with performances like that we are showing signs of improvement and starting to make some noise."

The rifle team will follow up with a home match versus Nevada-Reno and UTEP on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the USAFA Cadet Gymnasium Rifle Range.
