Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"It's pretty hard to put a trip like this into words. First, I want to thank the Fennell Family and the rest of our generous donors who made this trip possible. This trip was huge for the development of our program as we look to build into a nationally-competitive team. The teams we shot against this weekend are all premier programs and I can't wait for more matches like this. Our girls had two of their best matches against some of the best teams in college rifle, which I think speaks highly to the mindset we're working to build as a program. We weren't really sure where we'd be coming back from break and down multiple counters from the start of the season. I'm really proud that we had multiple people step up and perform incredibly well, setting season and lifetime PR's. Lots of work left to do when we get back but Abby and I are happy with the outcome of this weekend.

I also want to thank Will and Randi from UAF who really went out of their way to make our trip more enjoyable ... we greatly appreciate it! "
