TCU Rifle Gets Back On Track With A Weekend Sweep
The TCU Women's Rifle team hosted No. 3 Alaska Fairbanks last weekend. The Horned Frogs were victorious in both matches and, on the second day of competition, tied the school record for the sixth-best team score.
Katie Zaun taking aim
Katie Zaun remained outstanding for TCU, finishing both days as the top scorer in air rifle and smallbore. Zaun's highest score came on the second day of match play with an aggregate score of 1,195, which was good for the second-highest score in program history.
While the Horned Frogs won the duals on both days, the team performed best on the second day. The Frogs tied their season-high smallbore score with 2,356, also for the ninth-best mark in school history. In air rifle, the team set a season-high in air rifle with a score of 2,390, which also tied a program record for third-best in school history. Both of the team's marks led to the team finishing with their highest aggregate mark of the season with a 4,476.
Jeanne Haverhill continued to find success, as every week this season, her scores have continued to climb, and this past weekend was no different. On the first day of matches, Haverhill finished with career highs in the small-bore discipline and her overall aggregate score. Her career-high aggregate score would be broken less than 24 hours after posting a new career-best of 1,183.
Stephanie Grundsoee was fantastic in both duals, finishing second in aggregate scoring in both matches, only behind Zaun. In both duals, Grundsoee placed second in individual smallbore marks and finished top three in air rifle. Grundsoee finished with an aggregate score of 1,185 after the first match and a score of 1,190 for the second.
Both matches also saw six Horned Frogs in the top ten, with Zaun, Haverhill, and Grundsoee finished in the top five for aggregate scores. Rounding out the top ten were Nina Schuett, Mikole Hogan, and Stephanie Allan.
The Horned Frogs will be back in action on November 12 at UTEP for their last match of the fall season.
