ABOUT AKRON
The University of Akron, Ohio’s Polytechnic University, is
the region’s most influential public research university,
contributing to the resurgence of the local economy,
providing a highly skilled workforce, and known for an
innovative approach to higher education. With nearly
26,000 students and more than 300 associate,
bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate and law degree programs,
UA offers career-focused and experiential learning that
defines the polytechnic approach to education. From
polymers and psychology, to engineering and integrated
marketing communications, to education and
choreography, UA brings together various disciplines in
ways that provide students with life-long skills,
internships and co-ops, opportunities for academic
research, study abroad programs, on-campus student
employment, and service projects. Our programs are
designed for diverse groups of learners: full-time, parttime and online students, including veterans and adults
returning to the classroom. Zips athletics, which
sponsors 18 varsity programs, continues to excel in the
field of competition and in the classroom. During the
2014-15 academic year, more than 300 of our studentathletes earned Dean’s List honors (for a 3.5 or above
grade-point average), including 10 Academic AllAmericans. Zips teams earned four Mid-American
Conference titles, and UA student-athletes captured 21
individual conference titles.

Think Rifle is an Individual Sport? Not For One of the Greatest College Marksmen of All Time
THE SHOT OF A LIFETIME
NCAA.COM
USA Shooting
I
n the late 1990s, one of the most
sought-after high school recruits in the
nation didn’t play basketball or football. Instead, he was a marksman from
Mount Holly, New Jersey, who had already
set a junior world record as a 16-year-old in
the 50-meter rifle three-position event.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks, University of Kentucky and West Virginia University were among the top rifle programs in
the country, and each brought Matt Emmons
to campus for an official visit. Only one, however, captivated the young man who would go
on to become the most decorated shooter in
NCAA Rifle Championships history.
“I can’t say it was a very difficult decision,”
Emmons says. “On just about every account,
Alaska fit. It was a place where I was going
to go and grow as an athlete and grow as a
person. It’s probably one of the smartest
things I’ve ever done in my life.”
Emmons made an immediate impact in his
freshman season as his scoring record in the
smallbore standing position discipline helped
the Nanooks win the trophy in 2000, the second in a stretch of six consecutive national titles (1999-2004). He went on to become the
only individual to win a national championship three times in the same event (smallbore in 2001, 2002 and 2003), and his total
of four individual titles is also unprecedented.
Taken together, those accomplishments
are an impressive feat — but coupled with
the fact that Emmons and Alaska Fairbanks
achieved all of them under three different
coaches during Emmons’ undergraduate
years makes them even more impressive.
“I was fortunate to be part of a good
team,” Emmons says. “Not just in results,
but in the way we worked together. The way
we managed it as a team and the leadership
we had was extremely well-done.”
By Matthew Holmes
Originally published in NCAA Champion magazine
www.ncaachampionmagazine.org
Emmons’ status as the top collegiate
shooter in the country was bolstered by his
growing international accolades. After winning his third national championship in
March 2002, he went on to win the 50-meter
rifle three positions at the International
Shooting Sport Federation World Cup Final
in Munich, Germany, five months later.
After leading Alaska Fairbanks to the
championship in 2003, Emmons won his
first of three Olympic medals by earning the
gold in the 50-meter rifle prone in 2004 in
Athens, Greece. He also won silver in Beijing, bronze in London and has already qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de
Janeiro, where he hopes his NCAA experience will continue to pay dividends.
“The NCAA championships is one of the
best competitions you can shoot to prepare
yourself for the Olympic Games,” Emmons
says. “It’s just something you don’t get a
chance to experience anywhere else. Even the
foreign athletes, they don’t really have anything like them. I could go on for an hour
about the things I draw on almost every day
that I gained from the college experience.”
Emmons also took advantage of his educational opportunities by earning an undergraduate bachelor’s degree in accounting
from Alaska Fairbanks and a master’s degree
in business administration from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, where he
began classes one day after returning from
Athens with his gold medal.
Emmons, his wife, Katerina — herself a
three-time Olympic shooting medalist —
and their three children are now based in her
native Czech Republic, where Emmons continues to train and coach.
“I’m trying to get more Europeans to go
to the U.S. to go to school,” Emmons says.
“Take an individual sport and put it in a
team concept, and you get to be a part of
something bigger than what you’re doing. If
someone wins an individual championship,
that’s great. But if you win the team championship, that is a big deal. That’s something
you won’t get anywhere else in this sport.”

NCAA PRESIDENT
MARK EMMERT
e gather every year at these championships because we love the uniquely
American phenomenon of college sports. We cheer for our alma maters,
our students, our families and our friends — not just because we love these
games, but because, ultimately, college sports is about providing a pathway to opportunity for nearly half a million student-athletes.
Today, however, college sports faces a challenging landscape. We live in an environment where competing priorities can complicate the simple love of sport. No
doubt, the lives of college athletes have changed for the better over the last five years,
but there is more to be done. As the leaders of college sports, we must ensure our
actions align with our values, that college athletes get a fair shake, and that athletics
does not conflict with academics.
We celebrate what’s best about college athletics and recognize students for their
achievements both on and off the field. Behind the scenes, we remain focused on
academics, fairness and protecting the health and well-being of student-athletes.
College athletics is more than simply “sports.” It is the springboard from which
these young men and women will grow and succeed throughout their lives. We aim
to create as many opportunities as possible for all college athletes.
So let’s celebrate what makes college sports special and applaud these students not
only for the wins today, but for what follows in their lives. Enjoy the championship.
