The USF rifle team has had an influence that extends far beyond that which would be indicated by numbers alone. Rifling, its skill, steadiness and nerve, are quite popular sports at such institutions as San Jose State, Treasure Island, and Fort Ord.

The team, at the time of this writing, has a 500 average, shooting well enough to bring additional laurels to the Hilltop (TheDon).

Nerney was a native of San Francisco and graduated in 1964 in History.
