OTTUMWA, Iowa— The Northeast Iowa Community College Sports Shooting team fell to Indian Hills Community College at the team’s second competitive meet of the season, 475 to 349.

NICC athletes competing included:  Nathan Breska, of Arcadia, Wis.; Tanner Lane, New Hampton; Dillon Sanders, Montezuma; Chetanya Shivakumar, of Bangalore, India; and Faith Ubersox, of Shullsburg, Wis.

Top Female Individual:  Faith Ubersox (78/100), Chetanya Shivakumar (23/100) 

Top Male Individual: Dillon Sander (87/100), Tanner Lane (85/100), Nathan Breska (76/100)

“My experience wasn’t the best on Saturday. I didn’t shoot as well as I wanted to, but not as bad as I thought I actually did,” Ubersox said.

NICC Sports Shooting team head coach, Anthony Sisneros, recapped the events of the meet and pointed out several obstacles the team faced.

“We faced a few challenges on Saturday; a low turnout of our student athletes, wind conditions were rough, inexperienced scorekeepers and some faulty equipment. But I’m proud of the students that came out and gave it their best. On the plus side, Chetanya (Shivakumar) showed some improvement from two weeks ago and we are growing together as a team,” Sisneros expressed.

The NICC student athletes will next face Iowa Central Community College at home on Oct. 5, at Turkey Valley Trap Range in Jackson Junction.
