MSU's Cole To Compete In NCAA Rifle Championships

MSU Athletics

Morehead State rifle athlete Ethan Cole has been selected to compete as an individual at the 2014 NCAA Rifle Championships in the smallbore competition.

The championships will take place March 14-15 at Murray State.

Cole, who is one of just eight individuals to qualify, shot a 581 at the recent NCAA Qualifier at Kentucky.

The junior averaged 575.6 over 10 rounds this season. His qualifier score tied his second best mark of the season.

"Ethan's hard work has earned him a spot at the championship,” Head Coach Walt Rybka said. “His 'just get it done' attitude should serve him well."

The Somerset, Pa., native is the first member of the team to be selected to the NCAA field since Elizabeth Lyon was chosen in 2009. Lyon finished eighth in smallbore that season.

The smallbore competition takes place on Friday, March 14 in the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range.
