The Riflery team went to Wilbraham for an away meet against last year's champions. While Wilbraham won the match 939 to 911, Suffield had some excellent highlights. Brendan Mastella shot a 188, which is an excellent score. Jerry Chen shot a new PR with a 182, which officially placed him on the Varsity team as this was his first time scoring in a match. Finally MN Mayalarp, who officially qualified as Varsity in our first meet of the year, shot his second PR in a row with a 183. The team is developing nicely but has a lot of work to do before the end of the season.
Suffield hosted Wilbraham at the Hartford Gun Club on Wednesday. While Suffield lost the match 947 to 928, we have a lot to be proud of. First, this is the best team score we have shot all season by sixteen points. Sixteen points is a huge margin in Riflery and it puts us squarely in the running for second or third in the state. Second, Robin Su was medalist in the match with a 192, topping his previous PR by one point. We have not had a medalist in a match versus Wilbraham for several years. Also scoring in the match were Tony Luo with a new PR of 188, Jerry Chen with a new PR of 185, Brendan Mastella with a 182 and MN Mayalarp with a 181. It was a solid match for Suffield that showed how much our hard work in practice is paying off. Many of our shooters are seeing a new PR each week as we move into the championship season.
