COLORADO SPRINGS -
The second-ranked Georgia Southern rifle team broke the school record in the team air rifle and nearly broke the national record in shooting a 4,738 Sunday at the USA Olympic Training Center to down #3 Alaska, #15 Air Force and Schreiner. Seventh-ranked TCU bested the Eagles by three points to hand the Eagles their second loss of the season.

In smallbore, Emme Walrath shot a 591 to place second and lead the way. Bremen Butler shot a 587 to place seventh and Tori Watts also finished in the top 10 with a 586, placing ninth.

In air rifle, the Eagles posted a 2,393 as Butler, Watts and Emma Pohlmann all shot 599s and  Walrath contributed a 596 to help break the school record by two shots. Based on center shots, Butler took first, Pohlmann took third and Watts took fourth. Walrath finished seventh with a 596 to round out the record-breaking score.

Walrath led the squad with a 1,187 to place second in the aggregate, while Butler (1,186) took third and Watts (1,185) took fourth.

Words from Coach Soren Butler: "Bit of a roller coaster of a weekend. We're happy with some stuff and have a few things we need to continue to address. We're pretty excited for the air gun score today. That's huge for our team. It'll be a good to have a week off and then reset for our final two matches of the semester. Hail Southern."
