The championships are slated to begin Friday and continue through Saturday. The Frogs are making their fourth straight appearance in the tournament.

The five athletes who will be representing the Horned Frogs this weekend will be seniors Erin Lorenzen and Simone Riford, along with a trio of freshmen, Sarah Beard, Caitlin Morrissey and Sarah Scherer.

The smallbore championship will be held in the TCU Rifle Range on Friday. The competition shifts to Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Saturday for the air rifle competition.
