Dacotah Faught

Induction:
2025

An Amenia, ND native, Dacotah Faught competed from 2013-16 and left UT Martin as one of the most decorated rifle student-athletes in program history. Heralded as a second-team All-American as a sophomore, she qualified for the NCAA Championships in each of her first two seasons before redshirting her junior campaign to train for the 2016 Olympic Games. She earned All-OVC accolades six times in her two seasons as a Skyhawk while also being tabbed the 2013-14 OVC Freshman of the Year. Her name is etched in the program record books while leaving with the top three individual scores in school history in both air rifle (597, still a school record) and smallbore (585). She later won the women's air rifle title at the 2014 USA National Championships held in Fort Benning, Ga. and earned a spot on Team USA at the World Championships.
