No. 1 Mountaineers Win GARC Opener

The Mountaineers (2-0, 1-0) and the Wolfpack (0-1, 0-1) shot both smallbore and air rifle inside the newly renovated gymnasium, producing an environment that replicated the NCAA Championships.

“We really enjoyed the match,” Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond said. “It was a great environment to shoot in. It really did feel similar to the NCAA Championships, and it was a great experience for all the shooters.”

WVU, the seven-time reigning GARC champions, picked up the wins in both disciplines, outshooting NCSU 2334-2305 in smallbore and 2375-2366 in air rifle. The squad’s air rifle score is a season high.
