The MAC Smallbore Rifle Shooter of the Month
is Chris Burleson of the U.S. Naval Academy.
The junior major in quantitative economics
fired a Navy record on November 22, 2009 vs. John Jay.
Chris Burleson’s 592
smallbore also appears to be a new NCAA/collegiate record for that
discipline.
In addition, his 589 air
rifle produced one of the highest aggregate scores in NCAA history!
Earlier in the month he led Navy with 577 smallbore and 591 air rifle at
the President’s Trophy match.
Perhaps more amazing than
his smallbore score is the path Burleson followed to reach such lofty
numbers.
A top 3-Position air
shooter in
Burleson’s leadership
qualities have helped inspire his teammates as well.
His “lead by example” style
sets the tone for the rest of the team.
His willingness to help
other shooters improve- even those who are his closest competition-
demonstrates not only a confidence in his own ability, but a desire for
the success of his entire team. |
The MAC Air Rifle Shooter of the Month of
November is Jenna Hansen of John Jay College of
Criminal Justice.
Jenna has done an
amazing job this year, raising her air rifle average by more than 5
points from 553.71 to 558.83. Additionally, Jenna has served as
Assistant Captain to Stephen Wilson this year and done a wonderful job.
Jenna spends several hours each week working with the new shooters on
the team. The “newbies,” as she calls them, look up to Jenna and she
counsels them on team dos and don’ts as well as helping them to learn
and improve their shooting positions. The sophomore Criminal Justice
major from
Scholastically, Jenna was a member of the
2008 -2009 MAC All Academic Team with a GPA of 3.880. Additionally, at a
reception hosted by the College president, Jenna was one of a handful of
Student-Athletes who received a John Jay College Student-Athlete Award
for outstanding GPAs. She continues to maintain an outstanding GPA
despite having to balance the rigors of her academic schedule with a
part time job, and her volunteer work with children at a hospital in her
home community. She also devotes a part of her time to coaching members
of her former JNROTC rifle team where she was Commander of the Unit.
Jenna’s air rifle scores for the month of
