The good news keeps coming for the Wilbraham & Monson Academy Riflery team.
Then again, when a team goes undefeated and wins a championship for the first time in 28 years, that team deserves good news.
Based on their scores during league matches and National Rifle Association sanctioned events, WMA's Dan Wesson '18 and Erika Convery '19 have been named to the Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Association All-State First team.
"Dan and Erika were the main cogs in the Titan Riflery team going undefeated during the season," Coach Bill Passy said.
Before winning any team titles, Dan and Erika made Academy history when they set school records during the regular season, both posting scores of 198 (out of 200) in regular season matches.
"It's a big honor," said Dan, who averaged a score of 195 during the season. "I'm happy to represent the school and I'm happy to get onto the team knowing last year I had a chance but wasn't able to."
"I'm thrilled," said Erika, who averaged a 189.5 for the Titans in 2016-17. "I did not expect to be chosen for it because I'm only a second-year shooter. I knew definitely that Dan would be getting it. He does a lot of work outside of our practices. I had some good days but I had some off days. While I can shoot really well, I need to work on consistency."
WMA claimed the Quinnipiac Division (regular season), Prep School Gallery Match (invitational) and Connecticut High School Shoot-Off (championship) this season.
