Rifle is a relatively unknown, yet incredibly difficult sport. Most people are unaware of its existence. It’s a game of extreme precision and mental stamina. The shooters fire off thousands of rounds each week, striving for a perfect score. University of Memphis athletes Taylor Christian and Jack Kersey explain what it means to compete at the collegiate level.
With classes returning to campus, students are also returning to dining areas. As lines get longer and staff-sizes get smaller, it is becoming increasingly difficult for students to get food between classes.
Morgan Phillips, 23, has been promoted to an interim head coaching position for the University of Memphis rifle team. She was hired as a graduate assistant coach last season, but when former coach Dan Hermsmeier left, Phillips was asked to step in. Phillips brings considerable knowledge, experience, and a winning attitude to the Memphis Rifle program. She had an outstanding collegiate career as she is one of the most decorated athletes in West Virginia University Rifle history.
