FORT WORTH, Texas - Sophomores Kelly Buck fired a 590 and Sarah Lehman followed with a 589 leading Army to fourth-place in air rifle at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum en route to finishing fifth at the NCAA Men's and Women's Rifle Championships in the combined scoring with a 4627 Saturday.

Host Texas Christian University dominated the air rifle portion of the meet with a 2361 to overcome a six-point first-day deficit in smallbore to capture its first-ever NCAA title after outpointing first-day leader Alaska Fairbanks, 4675-4653.

Great America Rifle Conference members West Virginia (4641), Kentucky (4640), Army (4627) and Nebraska (4619) swept the third through sixth spots with Murray State (4611) and Navy (4602) rounding out the rest of the eight-team field. The Mountaineers were the defending champions.

The Black Knights' 2336 in air rifle was their highest score of the season, nipping the previous mark of 2334 fired at the NRA Sectionals. Buck just missed qualifying for the individual finals (top eight) in air rifle following a ninth-place finish. Her 590 was two shy of her career high and trailed the winning mark by five points. Lehman placed 11th with a 589, one off her career high, with Charles Ridge (583) and Tommy Carr (575) rounding out Arm's four-man relay team.

TCU captured air rifle with a 2361 with Kentucky a distant second at 2344 followed by Murray State (2339) with Army nipping West Virginia 2336-2333 for fourth place. The Mountaineers romped over the Black Knights by a 2349-2285 in that discipline during the regular season.

The Black Knights' 4627 aggregate tied its second highest score of the season as a young Army squad made up mainly of sophomores and freshmen put the finishing touches on 2009-10 with a 7-4 record and fifth place at the NCAAs, bettering last year's sixth place finish.

It is the seventh straight year that Army has qualified for the NCAA Championships for the Black Knights who have finished among the top six during that span. Army captured its first-ever title in 2005, was  runner-up in 2007 and 2008, won the bronze in 2006,  was fourth in 2004, fifth in 2010 and sixth in 2009.
