ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Freshman Tyler Wee of the Navy rifle team was chosen as this week's Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) Athlete of the Week. He was recognized for his efforts over the weekend as the Midshipmen defeated #9 Alaska Fairbanks (W, 4729-4722) and #16 Army (W, 4729-4688) in the Mids' first road match of the season.
