The Nebraska rifle team rebounded after a disappointing first day of competition to finish eighth at the Great American Rifle Conference Championship over the weekend.
West Virginia won the two-day competition with an aggregate score of 4,724, topping runner-up Kentucky (4,700) and Army West Point (4,692). Nebraska finished the two-day meet with a score of 4,661.
Nebraska, which was in last place following the smallbore competition on Saturday, rebounded with a team mark of 2,364 in air rifle on Sunday. The score was not only NU's best mark in over a month, but marked the third-best score among the nine-team field.
