We were honored to host the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA) national qualifying competition in the SLUH Rifle Range this weekend. Jr. Bills were on hand to assist the athletes around campus, help change their targets and load their rifles. Special thanks to Coach Matt Winkeler for organizing the event. #AMDG #SLUHAthletics

I would say the fall season was pretty successful! Congratulations to the Cadets for winning the fall league and sweeping the individual awards! 1st - Charlie Stone, 2nd - John Wilke, 3rd - Ben Elfrink.
Finally, thank you to the parents, alumni, administration and the facilities department for the endless support during the most hectic few years in the 79 year history of the Rifle Team. The boys could not have achieved these amazing results without your help and dedication.

Thank you to our seniors for an outstanding and record breaking 23-24 season: Alex Eckert, Daniel Steingruby, Teddy Guidry, Ben Robert and Nicholas Bull who was unable to attend the championship due to his appointment to the US Military Academy at West Point.
