COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State rifle team resumed its season on Monday and enjoyed its second-best performance of the season, finishing with a team score of 4,652. The Buckeyes were shooting against Alaska-Fairbanks which posted a score of 4,711.
In smallbore, the Buckeyes had a solid overall team day firing a season best 2,314 in the event. They were led by sophomore Deanna Binnie who fired a 583. She was followed by freshman Mark Matheny who fired a 578, junior Remington Lyman fired a 577 and freshman Drew Cheezum fired a 576. Freshman Josh Black rounded out team scoring with a 565.
In air rifle, Ohio State fired a 2,338 led by a personal and season best 591 from freshman Josh Black. He was followed by Lyman (585), Cheezum (583), Matheny (579) and Binnie (576).
“We’ve put in a solid amount of work over the break and have returned at a level higher than we were performing at the end of the fall portion of the season,” said Ohio State head coach Ryan Tanoue. I felt that it was good to get our spring season started with a home match against a top level opponent and I thought our performance was a step in the right direction for the team as we head into the stretch run of the season. We continue to have personal best performances throughout the season and Josh added to that with his performance in air rifle. Now we are pushing to put all of the pieces together to make a run toward the NCAA Qualifier in February and that quest continues this Sunday when we compete at TCU.”
Ohio State hits the road this weekend as they compete at TCU on Sunday, January 18th.
