Zipmeister Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yesterday's posts contained lots of new and/or interesting stuff. Guys quitting football and basketball, guys doing well in football, men's basketball schedule, mid-major bball recruiting rankings, etc. BUT, what is going on with my two favorites: the rifle team and club baseball? Anything? Bueler? Bueler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RifleBusDriver Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Rifle will be coming back as strong or stronger than last year. We lost a couple of power players to graduation, but that really is our goal, isn’t it? Thanks to the outstanding depth of the team, the overall performance should actually increase. And did I say depth? The bar was set pretty high last season when freshman hotshot Jenna Compton won the individual NCAA Championship. Did I say freshman? That is right; she will be back for three more seasons. This national exposure has placed Akron on the map as one of the up and coming places to get an education while participating in the sport of Olympic rifle. All of this has allowed the coach to put together an impressive freshman class for this season. The team will be joined by some remarkable talent from Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania. The team will start practicing the 31st, and open the season at Navy in the Mid Atlantic Conference (MAC) Open, on October 4th. This should be a great year!

Any possibility Jenna will graduate early? Do any of the freshman have monster hands? Do we know the start time for the MAC open. Any Zip fans interested in renting a bus and making the trip? Will the new Zip store at the Info be carrying ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is especially true since she is one of the newest members of the National Development Team (NDT) based out of US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The NDT is a select group of athletes being groomed as potential Olympians. This will require her to do some extensive training as well as traveling all over the world to participate in Olympic qualifier matches. This is good for the shooting, but makes it hard to finish school early. The freshmen may not have monster hands, but they do have awesome eyes making them sought after by a lot of the other big shooting schools. But look where they are at! Lucky us. The MAC has not given us the schedule yet as there are a record number of schools going this year. We should know soon. And probably no ammo at the store, but wouldn’t it be great if they had a rifle tee shirt or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
