Phillips Set to Compete in Smallbore at NCAA Championships Friday

RALEIGH, N.C. – Graduate student Lauren Phillips will represent the NC State rifle program at the 2018 NCAA Championships held on Friday inside McAlister Field House on The Citadel's campus.

Phillips will compete in the second relay of smallbore, which is set to begin at 12:45 p.m. The Wolfpack's top shooter was one of four individuals selected to participate in the event at the NCAA Championships.

The smallbore finals session will begin at 3:30 p.m. The championships will be broadcast live on ncaa.com and will include live scoring updates.

Hailing from Seabeck, Wash., Phillips is making her second appearance at the NCAA Championships, as she helped lead Nebraska to a fifth-place finish at the event as a freshman for the Cornhuskers.

She was a First Team All-American by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and a third team selection by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) that season. Phillips was the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) Individual Champion in smallbore last year.

This season, Phillips owns a team-best 581.286 average in the smallbore discipline, headlined by a season-high score of 588 against No. 3 Kentucky.

NC State has had at least one shooter advance to the NCAA Championships in each of the past three seasons under the leadership of head coach Keith Miller.
