"Nebraska's Cecelia Ossi won the NCAA smallbore title, highlighting a strong performance from the No. 7 Nebraska rifle team at the 2023 NCAA Championships on Friday at the James A. Rhodes Arena in Akron, Ohio."

She and her team, deserves a post on this forum.

"Ossi is the first Husker to win a NCAA Championship since Rachel Martin accomplished the feat in 2015 in the smallbore and Nebraska's fourth individual NCAA Champion. NU's other individual national champions are Kristina Fehlings (air rifle, 2006), and Nicole Allaire (smallbore, 2000). "

"The No. 7 Nebraska rifle team capped off an impressive weekend (and season) with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships on Saturday. "

"The Huskers shot a team air rifle score of 2,366 at the James A. Rhodes Arena in Akron, Ohio. That score, combined with their smallbore score from yesterday, totaled an aggregate score of 4,706. "
Freshman Vittoria Watts led NU with a 594 to place 14th in the air rifle. Junior All-American and 2023 NCAA Smallbore champion Cecelia Ossi shot a 593 to finish 18th. Junior Madelynn Erickson shot a 590 in the first round of competition and placed 31st, while freshman Emma Rhode (589, 33rd) and sophomore Mackenzie Strauch (583, 45th) finished out the air rifle lineup for Nebraska."
 



Ossi Wins USA Shooting Smallbore National Championship​

Ossi was the NCAA Smallbore National Champion this season and set numerous school and personal records in the event. Her average of 588.75 is the highest of any Husker and she placed in the top 10 of the smallbore in every match she competed in this season. She shot a 592 in the smallbore twice, the second-highest individual score in program history. She was named a first-team CRCA Smallbore All-American, along with earning second-team honors in the air rifle and third-team honors in the aggregate.
 

"The Huskers’ aggregate score of 4,728 is the best in program history, besting the 4,726 that NU shot against Alaska-Fairbanks last season. Nebraska’s team air rifle score was 2,384, another program record. The previous air rifle record was 2,381, also set against Alaska-Fairbanks last year.

Huskers swept the first three spots overall. Sophomore Emma Rhode earned a first-place finish with an aggregate score of 1,186, while sophomore Tori Watts(1,185) and senior Cecelia Ossi (1,183) completed the sweep, finishing second and third, respectively. Watts’ aggregate mark was also a career high.

In the air rifle, Rhode and Ossi tied for first place with scores of 597, matching the second-best score in Nebraska history. Watts and freshman Charlie Mick tied for fourth with 595s, along with Air Force’s Peninah D’Souza. Junior Mackenzie Strauch shot a career-best 593 to finish eighth.
