Virginia Thrasher, a 19 year old WVU soph to be, took the gold medal in the 10 meter air rifle Saturday. The former figure skater started shooting five years ago, learning from her grandfather, who has to be one proud grandfather. She won both NCAA rifle titles her freshman year as WVU won the NCAA team title.
