Reivers Open Spring Season in St. Louis

St. Louis, Missouri

After a quiet four months, Reivers Sport Shooting returned to action at the Lindenwood Invite in St. Louis. 

Jacob Slieter targetted a perfect 100/100 in American Trap and the Reivers won the team title in the event, beating Lindenwood by a single target.

Freshman John DeFord placed third in the overall event with a score 244 out of 250 and the Reivers finished fifth with a total of 1200 out of 1250 targets hit.  Only 12 targets separated Coach Derek Pollock's squad from first place, won by Midland University with 1212 total clays.

"Overall not a bad weekend, I think this competition really started to show our potential," said Coach Pollock, "but I think it really showed just how hard we need to continue to work."

TOTAL TEAM SCORES:

Midland U.	1212/1250
Lindenwood U.	1208/1250
Concordia U.	1207/1250
Ft. Hays State	1203/1250
Iowa Western	1200/1250

The meet was cut short by one event on Sunday due to a loss of power at the Gateway Gun Club after a car struck a transformer.

Next up for the Reivers is a trip down I-80 to compete in the Doane Tiger Invitational on Saturday and Sunday in Lincoln, Nebraska.
