MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Sophomore Calista Smoyer of the West Virginia University rifle team was named to the USA National Futures Team.
"I'm really excited for Calista to qualify for the National Futures Team," said Coach Jon Hammond. "She had an exceptional season in air rifle and her season average reflects that. To have the second highest air rifle average of American students is very impressive, and it's great recognition of all the work she put in this year."
