On Target: TCU Rifle Earns Nine All-American Honors
Four members of TCU's Rifle team earned a combined nine All-American CRCA All-America accolades. For the third consecutive season, Stephanie Grundsoee has been unanimously named first-team All-American. She won three first-team All American honors - air rifle, smallbore, and aggregate. Wow.
Joining Grundsoee are Kristen Hemphill, Stephanie Allan, and Anne White. Hemphill was honored with second-team air rifle and aggregate and third-team smallbore. White received a second-team air rifle accolade as a freshman. As for Allan, a first-career first-team honor awaited her air rifle accomplishments, and she earned an honorable mention for smallbore.
Grundsoee landed in the top 10 nationally in both disciplines as well as in aggregate average, placing seventh in smallbore (588.5), fifth in individual aggregate (1,185.1), and sixth nationally in air rifle (596.5). She finished sixth in the finals at the National Championships and has now earned nine All-American honors in her career.
