Leaving Her Mark

Dempster paints a Memphis skyline masterpiece in R.F. Fogelman Rifle Range.

On May 4, Leighton Dempster, a member of the University of Memphis rifle program from 2016-19, walked across the stage at the University's Commencement inside FedExForum and accepted her bachelor's degree. The proverbial "icing on the cake" to her outstanding collegiate career as a Tiger.

Her resume reads like that of an all-star student-athlete: 2019 NRA All-American in smallbore. 2019 Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) All-American in aggregate and smallbore. School record holder in smallbore and air rifle (tied with another former Tiger).
