Rifle team places fifth at National Championships
The defending champs placed in the top-5 at the 3PAR National Championship!
The TFS precision rifle team placed fifth at the 3-Position National Championship match this week. Tallulah Falls' group consisted of Chloe Erwin, Mitchell McGahee, Leah Rogers, and Faith Stout.
Tallulah was in fourth place, just 10 points out of first, following the first day after firing a 2316 team score. Rogers led with a 586, Erwin had a 585, and McGahee shot a 584 (PR). Stout followed with a 561.
On the second day, Erwin led with a 583, while Rogers (579), McGahee (578), and Stout (573; PR), bringing the team to a 2313 day two score and holding firm at fifth overall.
"We did not repeat with a National Championship, but I'm very proud of this team in a rebuilding year after losing six of nine athletes," says coach Tim Stamey. "We were not sure we would have a fourth athlete that could shoot well enough for us to make Nationals this year, and are very happy to finish in the top-5."
Stout as a 14-year-old finished the 15-and-Under Class as #11 in the nation. Erwin and Rogers finished in Graduating Senior Class as 15th and 18th in the nation, respectively.
