Rifiery club members out to defend national title 1 L l , ,; i }

Reporter
The 14-member Texas A&M ri
fle team works year-round to keep
up its nationally ranked title, the
group’s coach, Major Richard Pitts
said.
The team currently is ranked
seventh in the nation by the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion, and is the No. 1-ranked non
scholarship team in the nation,
Pitts said. The group also is the
only non-scholarship team to
make it to national competition the
last two years, he said.
Most university teams consist of all
scholarship shooters. Pitts said.
“Most get full scholarships just like
football players,” he said.
The team is also the No. 1 Re
serve Officer Training Corps team
in the nation and the state rifle
champions. Already this year it has
won the state outdoor prone
championships, which means a
trip to national competition this
summer, Pitts said.
Because the team is not financed
by the university and funds are
limited, not all rifle team members
compete in every meet, Pitts said,
but members of the first team gen
erally do.
First-team members this year
are Eric Uptagafft, Chris Fedun,
Vinnie Pestilli, Michael Moore,
Annette Tyler and Jeff Fell. Upta-
grafft and Tyler were named to
the NCAA All-American rifle
team last year, Pitts said.

The All-American team consists of
the 20 best shooters in the nation,
which are divided into two teams
of 10 each. Tyler was named to the
second team. Uptagrafft received
an honorable mention.
Tyler, currently ranked fifth in
the nation, qualified to represent
the United States in the air rifle
championships in Spain this past
summer, but the trip was cancelled
because of the threat of terrorism.
The trip to Spain was resched
uled for next year, but Tyler will
not be able to make it because
Olympic trials are held at the same
time. She said her goal is to make
the 1988 Olympic team.

year last year and is a member of
the Governor’s Top 20 Shooters
for Texas. He still competes and
won a bronze metal in the All
Army Shooters Competition this
summer. .
The sport requires a great deal of
upper body strength, T yler said.
Shooters must constantly work to
increase endurance and slay in
shape.
Uptagrafft and Moore are mem
bers of the All National Guard
Team, and Pestilli is ranked 10th
in the nation.
