This Week: Air Force, ranked fourth in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association poll, hosts No. 1-ranked TCU, Sunday, Oct. 2, in the season opener for the Falcons at the Cadet Rifle Range. The match is scheduled to begin at 8:30 am MT. Live scoring will be available at MegaLink.
More on the Horned Frogs: TCU, the 2021-22 national runner-up, returns eight letterwinners from a year ago, including all five shooters that took part in the national championship match. TCU opened up the 2022-23 campaign by setting an NCAA record for team score with a 4,758 last week. In addition to setting the NCAA record for team aggregate, the Horned Frogs also set a school record in smallbore after firing a 2,365.
Looking Back: Air Force, 11-4 last season, finished fifth in the NCAA Championships, held at the Air Force Academy, March 11-12. Air Force reached the NCAAs for the eighth straight year and posted the highest finish since 2019. The Falcons set new school records in all three areas: smallbore, air rifle and aggregate during the season. Freshman Scott Rockett became the first Falcon to ever win the NCAA air rifle national championship. Two Falcons, Peninah D'Souza and Lauren Hurley each shot a perfect score of 600 in air rifle, the first Falcons to ever hit that mark. Rockett earned All-America honors in all three disciplines, first team in air rifle, second team in aggregate and third team in small bore. Morgan Kreb earned third-team honors in smallbore and was honorable in air rifle. D'Souza was first team in air rifle and Hurley was second team. Rockett was named the team's MVP.
National Team; Peninah D'Souza and Scott Rockett are scheduled to compete in the 2022 International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championships, Oct. 12-25, in Cairo, Egypt. D'Souza, a junior and first-team NCAA All-American in air rifle last season, will compete in the junior women's air rifle match. Rockett, a sophomore who won the NCAA air rifle championship last season, will compete in the junior men's prone match, the junior men's 3-position match, the junior men's air rifle match and the junior men's air rifle team match. The World Shooting Championships features competitors from 110 nations.
