Rifle shoots for final time in NCAA Championships

SHARE ON:

For the first in Nevada Rifle history, the team sent two individual shooters to the NCAA Championships. It will also be the final time, as the team is being

disbanded. Senior Mitchell Van Patten and freshman Alec Patajo represented Nevada at the championships. Van Patten finished 14th out of a field of 44 competitors in the smallbore category, Patajo competed in air rifle and finished 30th out of 44.

This was the first time in Van Patten’s four years at Nevada that he qualified for the NCAA Championships. Out of his six rounds on the range, he shot for at least 98 out of a possible 100 points in three of the rounds.
