MSU Rifle Signs Kaitlin Cleven & Caroline Barber

Murray State Rifle Coach Alan Lollar announced the signing of two student-athletes who will join the program in the fall of 2009 as freshmen.

Kaitlin Cleven comes to MSU from Lutheran High School in Greenleaf, Wisc., while Caroline Barber makes plans to join the Racer program from Pius X High School in Lincoln, Neb.

“We are really excited about getting both Caroline and Kaitlin at Murray State,” Lollar said. “Both are exceptional young ladies that have demonstrated a solid work ethic in both the classroom and on the range.”

“I think they will fit in well with what we are trying to build and will be part of a bright future at Murray State.”

Cleven has competed well, posting scores in the 560's smallbore and 580's in air rifle. She won the National Rifle Association Junior Smallbore Outdoor Championship in Nebraska in 2006 and 2007. She was also the 2007 NRA Junior Smallbore Indoor State Champion and qualified 2006-2008 for the National Junior Olympic Rifle Championships.

Barber has shot well against solid competition. She competed at the Montgomery Bell Rifle Classic last month, where she shot a 582 in three-Position Air Rifle and made the finals, finishing in eighth place.
