Team Coach, Tom Bennedict also competed in this match in the "open class."

Little about the Buckeye Open:
Over 135 collegiate, junior and open shooters competed in the Buckeye Open over the past two weekends. The event was held at the Lt. Hugh W. Wylie Range in Converse Hall and featured competition on Ohio State’s electronic target systems. Collegiate teams from Murray State, Columbus State, Army and Morehead State competed with Ohio State alongside junior and open competitors from around the region.
