MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia University Rifle team will try to earn their fifth consecutive national championship in the same place where the streak began, French Field House at Ohio State University. The first of the four straight titles WVU now owns was won in 2013 when Ohio State hosted the NCAA Rifle Championships and the event returns to Columbus this weekend.
As usual this season, all eyes will turn to sophomore shooter Ginny Thrasher. Thrasher’s amazing freshman year began at the NCAA Championship match a year ago when she swept both individual titles in smallbore and air rifle.
