FORT WORTH, Texas – The Horned Frogs claimed their third National Championship in program history and freshman Kristen Hemphill took home the Individual National Title in Air Rifle on the final day of competition in Morgantown, W.Va.
All told, four of five national championship trophies awarded are headed back to Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs took home the smallbore team title, while sophomore Elizabeth Marsh shot her way to the individual smallbore title.
TCU has now won the national title in 2010, 2012 and 2019. Additionally, Hemphill became the first Horned Frog to claim an individual title in air rifle.
