With six of the top 10 individual scores in the conference for week two of competition, the team from NRHEG passed up previous leader Hermantown to take over the top spot in Conference 6 of the MSHSCTL fall season.
The team was led once again by Waseca student Sam Bartz, who recorded a nearly perfect 49/50 targets broken. He was followed by NRHEG student Frank Altrichter, who broke 48/50. Bartz and Altrichter currently sit #1 and #2 in the conference for individual average. Another NRHEG student, Tyler Raimann is in the #3 spot and they are joined by six other team members all in the top 25.
"It's this top-end strength that is moving the team forward" noted coach Dan Sorum. "However, a 64-point lead in a conference where weekly top scores are 1800-1900 points still means we are basically in a dead heat. We need our bottom scores to keep improving."In addition to the top three positions in the conference, Bartz, Altrichter, and Raimann are also in the top 100 in the state. Bartz currently sits in a tie for sixth. The team will be at it once again on Wednesday, Oct. 8th at the Owatonna Gun Club. The shooters have three weeks left in the 2014 fall season.
