The Murray State rifle team posted a season-best 4679 against Jacksonville State Sunday in its regular-season finale at the Ole Miss Rifle Range in Oxford, Mississippi. The score helped the Racers move into ninth in NCAA qualification, just .333 points out of the eight-team field for the 2020 NCAA Rifle Championships.
Matias Kiuru set new personal best in all three categories Sunday with a 588 in smallbore, a 596 in air rifle and an 1184 aggregate. Dane Buesseler followed Kiuru with a 581 smallbore and 585 air rifle for an 1166 total. Meike Drewell also had a solid smallbore firing a 581, while Anna Scheer and Emily Fitzgerald posted big numbers in air rifle at 590 and 388, respectively.
With the regular-season over, it all comes down to next Saturday's NCAA qualifier against Nebraska a the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range in Murray. The score from next qualifier will be averaged with each team's three-highest scores at separate sites to determine the eight-team field for the March's NCAA Championship in Lexington, Kentucky.
