COLUMBUS, Oh. — Sophomore shooter Ginny Thrasher pulled off the firing line with six minutes left to complete the final shots of the second air rifle relay during Saturday’s 2017 NCAA Championships. Thrasher, WVU’s final shooter in the competition, had just fired her fifth “9” of the match and needed one final reset with Coach Jon Hammond.
Thrasher finished strong with six straight “10”‘s to post a score of 595 and helped round out a stellar air rifle day for the Mountaineers. The air rifle finish catapulted WVU to a 5th straight NCAA Rifle Championship and a record 19th overall.
