FAIRBANKS - The Alaska Nanooks rifle team had two student-athletes named to the 2025-26 CRCA All-American Teams. Lucie Kissenberger earned Honorable Mention Aggregate and Second Team Smallbore honors while Teagan Perkowski earned Second Team Air Rifle honors. 

"We are proud to recognize the two athletes who earned All-American honors this season - Lucie [Kissenberger] and Teagan [Perkowski], who will soon take their place on our newly upgraded All-American wall alongside more than 80 Nanooks who came before them," said head coach Randi Loudin. "Both athletes have stood not only as great shooters, but as consistent ones. They came into the season ready to work and finished strong to earn this recognition. Lucie now holds a total of five All-American honors in just two season, with Teagan joining her for the first time. It has been great to watch their growth - and even better to work alongside them."
