Student-athlete Rosemary Kramer of Georgia Southern University set new NCAA Air Rifle Championship record with her score in preliminary events in Morgantown, West Virginia last weekend.
Kramer, of Culloden, Georgia, shot a 599 out of 600 to set a new record and advance to the finals, surpassing the previous NCAA record of 598, set in 2013 by Petra Zublasing of West Virginia. Her performance included 53 straight 10xs. Shot #54 was a 9.9.
“I’m obviously proud of Rosemary’s performance today, but I”m even more proud of the work she did getting here,” Georgia Southern head coach Sandra Worman said. “She came in with the intention of setting the NCAA record, and everything she did and thought about coming into this match was purposefully made to meet that goal.”
Once moving to the finals, Kramer faced stiff competition and finished behind two athletes from Texas Christian University, picking up the Bronze with a 226.2. First place went to TCU’s Kristen Hemphill with a 248.2 while Angeline Henry brought down the silver with a 247.9 showing. Of note, Ginny Thrasher, who won a gold medal
