DAHLONEGA - Ricky Medina shot an aggregate score of 1170, beating the previous aggregate scoring record by four points as the No. 19 University of North Georgia rifle team defeated UAB Saturday at the COL Raymond C. Hamilton Rifle Range. Clemson also shot in the event, but they do not count in the results due to the Tigers competing as a club sport.
Medina tied the smallbore scoring record, firing a 584 in the discipline. He was perfect in the prone position, scoring two perfect 100 strings in the process. He coupled that with a 586 in the air rifle discipline to defeat the field by 19 points in the aggregate scoring.
North Georgia shot a season-high 4617 as a team, finishing just five points off the school record in aggregate. UNG had the top three shooters with Medina,
Tobin Sanctuary and
Kimberlee Nettles.
Other highlights from the event were personal records for
Veronica Stanley in smallbore (567),
Eric Azotea in air rifle (573) and
Lucas Gilliland in air rifle (582).
The Nighthawks will next be on the range on November 10 at home against The Citadel.
