Earned All-America honors in smallbore ... Helped the Nanooks in their first two wins of the season, finishing with a 583 in air rifle and a 581 in smallbore in the first match against Tennessee-Martin and a 578 in air rifle and 571 in smallbore in the second ... At NCAA Qualifiers, Holsopple shot a pair of 573s in both air rifle and smallbore and earned himself on both shooting teams for nationals ... Helped the Nanooks to a fifth-place finish in smallbore with a 574 and a sixth-place finish in air rifle with a 579, landing them sixth-place overall at the NCAA National Championships ... Recognized for academic honors by the Nanooks as a two-time Dean's List member and selected for Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association All-America honors.

"As a transfer Aaron has seen college shooting first hand. He will bring a different dynamic to the team and his knowledge will help the younger shooters in his class. From what we have already seen, he will have a solid impact on the team's scores in the years to come. He is a solid smallbore shooter and he can do the same in air rifle over the next year."
-- Harry Mullins

"Aaron has always been a strong smallbore shooter, but this year I think air gun will be his strong suit. He's been industrious in developing his hold and execution, and it's paying off. As he continues to build consistency in air, I look forward to seeing him contribute in both disciplines."
-- Amy Sowash
