The two words that can best describe the 1968-69 Rifle team season are inexperience and improvement. Inexperience because only one shooter returned from last yeafs championship squad. Improvement because the team started with a score of 1284 against Erie Tech and finished with 1384 against Alliance College of Pennsylvania. Frank Viverito, team captain, fired a 98 standing and 290 total against Alliance. Both of these are new school records. The team broke in a new coach this yearg Mr. George Granger. Jim Flansburg, from Hornell, was a very capable student assistant coach. Frank Viverito and Dave Rundell were the leading scorers this season. Frank averaged 275 points per meet and Dave averaged 274 points per meet. Lynne Swanson was the only female competitor this season. She placed in the top 5 against Farmingdale and in the Region III and National Tourneys. Every shooter on the squad placed in the top 5 shooters in one or more meets during the season. Dave Rundell and Frank Viverito placed in the top 5 in every meet. This team seemed to gain momentum and spirit as the season progressed. The team was beaten by a four year school by only 16 points in the last meet.
