The NCAA Rifle Committee announced the teams and individual student-athletes that have qualified for the 2018 NCAA Rifle Championships. The Citadel will play host to the championships March 9-10, at the McAlister Field House in Charleston, SC.
Schools that qualified for the championship are:
The top eight teams in both the smallbore and air rifle events earned their championship bids based on the average of their three highest regular season aggregate scores, with each score recorded at a different range. The average of the three scores was added to the aggregate total from the team’s designated qualifier to determine the final field.
A total of 48 competitors will compete at the championships, with eight selected as individual qualifiers (see them listed below). An NCAA rule established four years ago stipulates that a school that qualifies as a team is disqualified from sending individual qualifiers.
