Cameron, Walrath Lead 2022 CMP Regional Air Rifle Championship

April 20, 2022 By Tom McHale

The results are in for the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Three-Position Regional Air Rifle Championship! The event was held at CMP’s own air gun competition centers in Ohio and Alabama, March 31-April 2, as well as in Utah using CMP’s mobile electronic range, assembled April 7-9.

The annual, national-level competition series is designed for junior air rifle marksmen involved in 4-H, Scouts, American Legion, club or JROTC sporter and precision air rifle programs. Athletes begin with a postal match, followed by regional and national events. During the match, athletes fire from three positions: prone, standing and kneeling. Qualification scores are recorded each day, with the eight highest scoring marksmen from each discipline participating in a final on the firing line.

Emme Walrath led overall in the precision competition and fired a new national record score.

The top three teams and top eight individuals were recognized with awards at each location. Third place individuals received $300 from the CMP, while second and first earned $400 and $500, respectively. Teams placing at each location were also recognized and presented with monetary awards: $800 for third, $1,200 for second and $1,500 for third.
