Two Frazier Simplex seniors moving on to NCAA Collegiate shooting this fall
Two of those smiling faces frequently seen around the club on any night, and plenty of weekends, are joining ranks with the TCU Horned Frogs. Yes, that's right! Ariana and Nicholle (seen below) are both heading to the heat of Fort Worth, Texas in August to become athletes in one of the NCAA's most prestigious rifle teams in the country, the Texas Christian University (TCU) Horned Frogs.
Both girls will be joining the collegiate team that has put forth some of the best competitive rifle shooters in the world; most recently, Sarah Scherer, Erin Lorenzen, and Sarah Beard.
We wish them the best of luck in pursuit of their education and shooting goals, and we will miss having their smiling faces around the club and our homes.
