Blue shooters win, but may be forced to move next season

The Michigan rifle club took dead aim in its last meet of the 1999-2000 season this weekend, but the future of the program is not nearly as focused.

On Saturday, the Wolverines defeated Howe Military Academy, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan and Central Michigan in an all day shoot-out with a score of 1938 out of 2400 points.

Tournaments are shot similar to Olympic style competition, consisting of three matches, which are shots fired at targets in various areas - each one with 10 bulls eyes.

Each team has to shoot a total of 60 bulls eyes - 20 shots lying down, 20 kneeling and a final 20 shot standing. The top four individual scores qualify and are added up to provide a team score.

Paul Moore was the top individual, finishing with a total score of 517, Neil McNeight followed with 484 points, and Ray Braekeveld had 472. Ken Denison rounded out the teams score with a 465.

After a great season, the Wolverines may be left without a place to practice for next year. This past season they practiced at the ROTC rifle range.

But cramped for space with the Ann Arbor Rifle team and ROTC, they may have to look elsewhere for a shooting range. There are plans to possibly move to Eastern Michigan or Washtenaw Community College in hopes of gaining a new shooting range.

'M' skating club to put on annual show

Broadway in Ann Arbor?

The Michigan figure skating club will be putting on its two-hour rendition of how Broadway is supposed to be when it puts on its fifth annual Ice Show, "Broadway Bound" this Friday night at 7 p.m. at Yost Ice Arena.

Instead of singing and dancing to their favorite tunes, the women will be skating to selected numbers from Broadway favorites like 'Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Cats' and more.

The ice-dancers will put on six solo performances, small group numbers and three large group numbers that will involve the entire club.

The large group numbers will include "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Aquarius" and will end with "New York, New York" to compliment the New York skyline in the background.

"We're really excited," sophomore Sarah Solberg said, who will be doing her solo set to "On My Own" from the musical 'Les Miserables'. "We've really done a lot of work for it this semester, we expect a good crowd."

The show will conclude with a flowers and "thank you" presentation for seniors Marya Bak, Dora Cheng, Kyle Jones, Sarah Kepner, Jenny Jozefiak, Heather Lutz, Dareth McCoy, Juliet Newcomer and Jocelyn Rainey.
