ÐÓ°Épro Nanooks rifle head coach Dan Jordan announced the hiring of former student-athlete Ryan Baum as the program's next assistant coach.
Baum shot for the Nanooks from 2004 to 2007 after transferring to ÐÓ°Épro from West Virginia. He was a member of three NCAA championship teams during his career (2004, 2005, 2007) and was the team's co-captain and MVP as a senior.
"It's an honor and privilege to return to a team this dear to the heart and I remain dedicated to the success and improvement of our student-athletes," Baum said.
For the past three years, Baum has been a firearm instructor and range technician for the ÐÓ°Épro department of fish and game.
The Nanooks have won 10 national titles since the NCAA began sponsoring rifle back in 1980. Last season, ÐÓ°Épro placed second in smallbore and fourth overall at the 2013 NCAA Championship. Fans can catch the Nanooks
