RIFLE Ole Miss rifle sets program records vs. No. 1 West Virginia

KELBY ZENDEJAS [email protected]

West Virginia’s top- ranked rifle team left Oxford with a win over Ole Miss on Saturday, but the Rebels continue to make their mark in record books. Despite suffering their first loss early in the season, the Ole Miss rifle team (2-1) shot a program-high 2,372 in the air rifle event, making it the third-highest total score in the program’s history. Junior Abby Buesseler shot a 597 score in air rifle and tied her personal best in smallbore with a score of 586. Her combined aggregate score of 1183 broke the previous 1180 aggregate score from Ali Weisz in 2016. “Coming into this match, I just tried to keep it really simple and then thought about the things that I wanted to accomplish and what it took to get to that point,” Buesseler said. “Then I just put it together and try to be really patient with it and not over think it.” The Mountaineers (3-0) took the match 4704-4674 and won the smallbore event with a score of 2342.
