CMP Uses Alternative Method to Name Winners in Withdrawn JROTC, CMP Air Rifle Matches

May 13, 2020 By Tom McHale

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

Although the JROTC and CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Matches were cancelled, the CMP still recognized top competitors.
Although the JROTC and CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Matches were cancelled, the CMP still recognized top competitors.

To make up for unexpected changes to the usual air rifle season, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has come up with a substitute method of establishing and awarding top junior athletes in its unfired national events.

Each year, two of the biggest competitions in the world of junior air rifle are the JROTC and the CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Championships. Both begin in the fall with a postal match before moving on to regional competitions that eventually lead to the crowning national events in the spring and early summer, where overall champions in sporter and precision classes are finally determined. The JROTC Championships accommodate high school scholastic athletes from around the country, while the CMP Three-Position event welcomes a variety of junior individuals and teams from schools and clubs.

The JROTC and CMP Three-Position events combine three stages: prone, standing and kneeling.

With many districts closed for the remainder of the year due to COVID-19, the decision was made in early spring to cancel the JROTC Air Rifle National Championships and the CMP Three-Position Regional/National events – carefully considering the idea that the CMP would rather cancel the events entirely than carry on without full participation from qualifying schools.

Recalling its mission of awarding talented junior marksmen, the CMP remained enthusiastic about recognizing those junior athletes who exhibited exceptional performances in the fired portions of the Three-Position Championships and named winners from the following matches that were able to be completed as scheduled.

JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle Championships:

Prize money reserved for the JROTC National Championship was used to award those who recorded outstanding scores in the JROTC Service Championships (fired in Ohio, Alabama and Arizona). Those finalized results can be found on CMP’s Competition Tracker page at http://ct.thecmp.org/JROTCNatresults.  

The Top 5 teams and individuals from precision and sporter classes were presented with monetary awards for their success during the match.
