Rifle team sets four records at Invitational

The TCU rifle squad set four records in the 12th Annual Horned Frog Invitational, held Oct. 4-6 and 11-13 at the TCU Rifle Range. Highlighting the record-setting performances for the Frogs were first-place finishes in the team air rifle and individual smallbore competitions.

TCU claimed its second air rifle title of the season by with a school-record 1,550 to edge Texas-El Paso by eight points. The score bested the previous mark of 1,518, set Sept. 7 at Nevada. Leading the way was senior Stacy Hughes, who placed second overall with a 392, breaking her own school record of 391, set Sept. 28 at Memphis.

In their first smallbore action of the season, the Horned Frogs also broke a pair of school records while finishing second. TCU totaled 4,504 in the competition, surpassing the previous school record of 4,231, set Feb. 2 at Centenary. Freshman Celeste Green claimed the individual championship and school record with a 1,173. The previous school record of 1,116 was set by her sister Jessica on Sept. 8, 2001 at San Francisco.

The TCU White squad took fourth and fifth respectively in the seven-team smallbore and air rifle fields. The team’s 1,394 air rifle score was the best-ever tally by a TCU White group.

TCU is also awaiting final results from this weekend’s meet at Texas A&M.
