ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The No. 16 Army West Point rifle team placed second in the President's Trophy Match on Saturday morning.

Coach's Quotes:
"We shot well today," said head coach Web Wright. "This was our season high and we had several personal records and high performances.

"Our strong suit has always been our depth. All of our counting smallbore scores were strong. We need to work on our air gun when we get back, but generally it's all coming together."

SMALLBORE (2293)

Senior Mike Garner led the squad by recording a personal best in smallbore with a score of 589.
Garner was followed by Kutz and Nunn, who both scored a 577.
Freshman Clayton Hanson scored 575 in the discipline, followed by junior Nick Kanellis who also recorded a personal best with a score of 574.
