Nebraska’s 2021 tournament appearance marks the 18th time the Huskers have qualified for the NCAA Championship since the program began during the 1998-99 season.

In all, Nebraska has qualified as a team in nine of the last 10 seasons. The Huskers qualified at the NCAA Championships in 2020, but the event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“After last year’s NCAA Championships was canceled, we are so excited to have qualified this year and now have the chance for our athletes to display their skill on the national stage,” said Nebraska Rifle Coach Rachel Martin in a news release. “It has been a long and hard season, and we will continue to give our very best as we prepare for the championship.”
