In smallbore, the team posted a season-best 2336 with solid performances across the board. Mackenzie Pruden (587), Lilly Warren (585), Paige Hollowell (582), John Hamilton (582), and Gabriella Sprague (582) made up the counting team. Summer Lytle fired a career best 573 while Riley Dunn (574), Andrew Duross (571), and Emily Valenta (562) rounded out individual scoring. In air rifle, Summer Lytle fired a career best 593 to lead all Ohio State scoring.

Riley (585), Andrew (583), and Emily (564) rounded out individual scoring.
Coach Tanoue: "Saturday was one of the best overall smallbore days ever for our team. To have all five of our counting team members fire over 582 and also Summer post a personal best was fantastic to see. Unfortunately air rifle was a bit of a challenge for us but overall I know that the team is taking steps forward as we get into the heart of the fall portion of the season. With two matches coming up in Fairbanks we'll have a great opportunity to get back on the road and put together that full match performance that I know that we can."
The Buckeyes compete against the University of Alaska in Fairbanks on Friday, October 17 and at the Tanana Valley Sportsman's Association (TVSA) on Saturday, October 18.
