The five athletes who will be representing the Horned Frogs this weekend will be seniors Erin Lorenzen and Simone Riford, along with a trio of freshmen, Sarah Beard, Caitlin Morrissey and Sarah Scherer.
The smallbore championship will be held in the TCU Rifle Range on Friday. The competition shifts to Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Saturday for the air rifle competition.
