Racers add an experienced domestic and international shooter for next season
Murray State rifle head coach Alana Lollar is pleased to announce the signing of two student-athletes for the 2022-23 school year. Alok Joarder of Mansfield, Massachusetts and Paola Paravati of Rome, Italy have both chosen Murray State as the place to continue their academic and athletic careers.
Alok Joarder · Mansfield, Mass. (Mount Saint Charles Academy)
Joarder is a multiple-time participant in the Camp Perry Open championship, Winter Air Gun Championship and the National Junior Olympic qualifiers. This past year has been quite a successful one for Joarder, as he took home bronze at the recent Winter Air Gun, silver in air rifle at the summer Bay State Games and another silver in the three-position team air event at the Camp Perry Open. In addition, he was selected as a 2021 participant in Murray State's prestigious Commonwealth Honors Academy.
Lollar on Joarder: "Alok is a hard-working shooter from the same club that sent us Kenzie Martin. They do a really good job preparing shooters and we think Alok has a bright future with the Racers and beyond."
Paola Paravati · Rome, Italy (Giosuè Carducci HS)
Paravati, a member of the Italian national team since 2016, is an experienced and awarded international shooter who recently spent nearly two years at the Italian national shooting academy. The Rome native began her international career in 2019 when she qualified for the Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany and the European Championships in Bologna, Italy. At the 2021 European Championships in Osijek, Croatia Paravati finished fourth individually in the junior 50m prone rifle event and took home the gold medal in the 50m three-position rifle junior women team event.
Lollar on Paravati: "We are very excited about Paola joining the team next fall. She is a solid shooter on both guns that has international experience with the Italian national team."
