The 1982 NCAA Rifle Championships were contested at the third annual tournament to determine the team and individual national champions of NCAA co-ed collegiate rifle shooting in the United States. The championship was held at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia during March 1982.[1]
Tennessee Tech, with a team score of 6,138, once again won the team title; the Golden Eagles finished ahead of West Virginia, runners-up for the third consecutive year, with a score of 6,136. Tennessee Tech was coached by James Newkirk.
Both individual champions were repeat winners from the previous year: Kurt Fitz-Randolph (Tennessee Tech) for smallbore rifle and John Rost (West Virginia) for air rifle.
