Defending champs Texas Christian looks not only for its first back-to-back win, but a third championship in four years. Kentucky, 2011 winner, has its eye on reclaiming the throne. Dynasties Alaska-Fairbanks and West Virginia are both in the running and would each like to add another championship to their double digit wins.<\/p>\n<p>Or will it be one of the other four teams? As in the finals of every other sport: just being there means you have a chance to win.<\/p>\n<p>The 40 shooters from these team rosters will also compete in the individual championships alongside eight individual shooters selected from their qualifier scores. Last year&#8217;s Smallbore Champion, Sarah Scherer, and Air Rifle Champion, Petra Zublasing are both in attendance and might very well win again. Scherer is coming off of a spectacular season that began with an appearance in the London 2012 Summer Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see who&#8217;s shooting in this year&#8217;s championships:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alaska-Fairbanks<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ryan Anderson<\/li>\n<li>Cole Bures<\/li>\n<li>Dustin Chesebro<\/li>\n<li>Mats Eriksson<\/li>\n<li>Michael Liuzza<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connor Davis<\/li>\n<li>Heather Greathouse<\/li>\n<li>Aaron Holsopple<\/li>\n<li>Emily Holsopple<\/li>\n<li>Henri Junghanel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Jacksonville State <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Samantha Bullard<\/li>\n<li>Monica Fyfe<\/li>\n<li>Daniel McCall<\/li>\n<li>Samuel Muegge<\/li>\n<li>Cole Tucker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Nebraska<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Janine Dutton<\/li>\n<li>Kelsey Hansen<\/li>\n<li>Denise Martin<\/li>\n<li>Sunny Russell<\/li>\n<li>Katelyn Woltersdorf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Texas Christian<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sarah Beard<\/li>\n<li>Catherine Green<\/li>\n<li>Megan Lee<\/li>\n<li>Caitlin Morrissey<\/li>\n<li>Sarah Scherer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Air Force<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meredith Carpentier<\/li>\n<li>David Higgins<\/li>\n<li>Matt Kluckman<\/li>\n<li>Tyler Rico<\/li>\n<li>Kevyn Stinett<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Army <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Richard Calvin<\/li>\n<li>Alyssa Gestl<\/li>\n<li>Michael Matthews<\/li>\n<li>William Mengon<\/li>\n<li>Joseph Todaro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>West Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Taylor Ciotola<\/li>\n<li>Meelis Kiisk<\/li>\n<li>Maren Prediger<\/li>\n<li>Garrett Spurgeon<\/li>\n<li>Petra Zublasing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Smallbore Three-Position<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elijah Ellis, Kentucky<\/li>\n<li>Thomas Kyanko, West Virginia<\/li>\n<li>Olivia Pennell, Nevada<\/li>\n<li>Stacy Wheatley, Kentucky<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Air Rifle<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hannah Black, Texas Christian<\/li>\n<li>Daniel Hermsmeier, Memphis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Smallbore Three-Position and Air Rifle<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amanda Luoma, Ohio State<\/li>\n<li>Abbey Stanec, Ole Miss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrablog.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16751 alignnone\" title=\"NRAblogLogo\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/NRAblogLogo.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"65\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrablog.com\" target=\"_blank\">NRAblog<\/a> is your connection to the programs of the NRA.
