吃瓜黑料 Sports Shooting team wins tight home match, 441-440
Wednesday, April 17, 2019
NICC DISTRICT鈥擳he 吃瓜黑料 Sports Shooting team won a nail biter over Southwestern Community College at their conference dual home meet on April 13 at Turkey Valley Trap Range.
The final tally, 441-440, is generated by taking the top five scores from each team, after each athlete has shot at 100 targets. A one-target team difference in intercollegiate play is rare. Other sports analogies are useful illustrations: it鈥檚 like the equivalent of winning in a photo finish, a last second shot at the buzzer, or a last-second 60-yard field goal to win the game.
NICC coach Anthony Sisneros was exuberant over the team鈥檚 performance.
鈥淲hat a great win for us! I couldn鈥檛 be prouder of our student athletes. The cold and wind was brutal and they were able to stay focused through it all. I don鈥檛 know that I ever remember a one-target team score difference; each team member was needed, and it just goes to show that every target counts,鈥� he said.
At the meet, Southwestern swept the women鈥檚 medals, but NICC captured the men鈥檚. Male Individual medalists included: Andrew Wagner (1st place), Christian Schwickerath (2nd place), Landon Goza (3rd place).
Melody Gossman captured 4th place Female Individual in competition.
NICC student athletes competing at the meet included:
- Shaylee Brincks, of Waucoma
- Hannah Evert, of Mazomanie, Wis.
- Melody Gossman, of Rose Creek, Minn.
- Landon Goza, of Fort Atkinson
- Carter Haag, of Lewiston, Minn.
- Kenneth Hintz, of Dubuque
- Journey Howe, of Lawler
- Adam Reinertson, of Fayette
- Christian Schwickerath, of New Hampton
- Andrew Wagner, of Calmar
