Last Time Out
The Keydets opened up their season last week in strong fashion, as the mixed squad posted a 4597 which was higher than its best aggregate of 2024-25 while the women's squad totaled a 4493.
Alexander Pohlman registered a team-best 1164 aggregate, with a 588 in the air rifle and team-best 576 smallbore. Cody Jenkins totaled a 1152 with a 586 air rifle. Darian Tweedell – who competed for the mixed team – tied the team-high 588 air rifle score.
On the women's side, Wuyue Xie posted a 1131, while freshman Soraya Sar scored 1129 on the day. Elizabeth Stann also had a good outing, totaling 1124 with a 571 in the air.
Scouting the Nighthawks
North Georgia, which is ranked No. 18 in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) poll, has yet to compete this season, but finished second in last year's SoCon Championships. The Nighthawks have now finished in the top three in the SoCon in nine consecutive seasons. Maya Cameron returns for her senior season, placing seventh in both the air rifle and smallbore a year ago. Allison Sutherlin is arguably the top returner for North Georgia, as she earned Co-Freshman of the Year Honors (SoCon) at the conclusion of 2024-25.
