Alaska 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 Alaska 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 Alaska department of fish and game.
The Nanooks have won 10 national titles since the NCAA began sponsoring rifle back in 1980. Last season, Alaska placed second in smallbore and fourth overall at the 2013 NCAA Championship. Fans can catch the Nanooks
