CAMP PERRY, Ohio; ANNISTON, Alabama - Competitors in the JROTC Championship have been whittled down to the best of the best, as overall winners of the JROTC Regional Championships were determined February 13-15 and February 19-21 in the northern, southern and western locations. The road to the JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle National Championship kicked off in October with its opening Postal Competition, where cadets from Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force JROTC programs submitted scores to the CMP to be compared against top junior shooters around the country.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio; On July 23, 2014, I sat with my fellow junior teammates in the antiquated theatre around dusk. The lighting was dim on the main level, bodies were still shuffling toward their seats on the worn floor, and there was a constant, low murmur from the crowd. In front of us on the lighted stage was quite a bit of history that had passed before, displaying over 100 years worth of High Power Shooting. Tonight, more than 700 competitors came together to give their tribute to those who had excelled this past year. This was our first time, after three trips, for us to enjoy the National Trophy Rifle Award Ceremony at Camp Perry in Ohio. Tonight, something - no, someone - made it extremely special!
