Ole Miss Rifle continues to make university history books this season as freshman Lea Horvath led the team to another victory on Saturday, Jan. 30 in Morgantown, W.Va., against two Great America Rifle Conference opponents: No. 12 Akron and No. 14 Navy.
Horvath achieved a feat that no other Rebel has ever accomplished in the field, scoring a perfect air rifle score of 600. The freshman joins an elite group of athletes as one of now twelve NCAA competitors to ever shoot a perfect score.
“We were excited to see Lea shoot a 600 in air rifle,” head coach Marsha Beasley said in a statement from Ole Miss Athletics on Saturday. “She has done it in practice, but it’s much harder in a match. She worked the match very well today, making sure she took the shots she wanted.”
