UK Rifle Signs Henrik Larsen

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky rifle announced on
Thursday that Henrik Larsen signed a national letter of intent to attend the
University of Kentucky where he will compete on the rifle team.

Larsen – a native of Moss, Norway – finished
fourth in the men’s 50m rifle three position and eighth in 50m prone at the
2016 International Shooting Sport Federation Junior World Cup.

“We are very excited that Henrik will be
joining our team next year,” head coach Harry Mullins said. “He will be a great
addition in both disciplines and will bring energy and a solid skill set to the
team. He has a lot of the Wildcat spirit and commitment that will help our
program keep moving in the right direction. He is a very skilled athlete with
great work ethic. Henrik carries a tremendous passion for our sport. Because we’ll
be losing the four seniors after the season, he is a great start to the 2017-18
class.

“We will see some great things from him during
his time at Kentucky. He has tremendous drive to succeed. Even with his high
skill level, Henrik is always a student of the game.”
