Anthony Sisneros, NICC Sports Shooting team coach, was impressed with the athletes’ start to the season and credited their team effort. “From top to bottom, all of our shooters did a great job. The returning athletes showed great leadership, and the new athletes are a great addition. We strive for teamwork and individual improvement, and the scores reflected this in our outcome,” Sisneros said. “It was good to get the win as a team. The 471 team score is a great first meet score and is the best score we have had since I have been here. In fact, 471 might be a record for us.”
The conference format changed this year and teams will compete in dual meets with one other team each meet until the conference championship meet at the end of the spring. The NICC team will host another home meet this fall and one in the spring. Spectators are invited and there is no cost to attend.
The NICC Sports Shooting team will compete next on Saturday, Sept. 29, against Indian Hills Community College at Turkey Valley Trap Range, 3340 122nd St., in Jackson Junction, Iowa. For more information on the NICC Sports Shooting team, visit www.nicc.edu/sportsshooting.
