Olympians, National Athletes Top Events at CMP’s September Monthly Air Gun Matches

October 6, 2021 By Tom McHale

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) resumed its Monthly Matches Sept. 18, 2021, at both of its static locations in Anniston, Alabama, and Camp Perry, Ohio – the first fired since May. The indoor air gun event, offered several times throughout the year, features a lineup of air rifle and air pistol competitions for all ages and skill levels.

SPC Tim Sherry topped the International air rifle category by just one-tenth of a point in Anniston.

Over 200 entries were seen between the two venues in September that showcased some of the most talented athletes in the country today, including 2021 Tokyo Olympians like rifle/pistol athlete SGT Nick Mowrer (who made history this year), pistol competitor SSG Sandra Uptagrafft and even rifle silver medalist Lucas Kozeniesky.

SSG Sandra Uptagrafft earned second in air pistol at Camp Perry and represented Team USA in Tokyo this year.

Mowrer, 33, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, led the International Pistol Monthly Match at Camp Perry, with Uptagrafft, 50, of Phenix City, Alabama, finishing a close second. Kozeniesky, 26, of  Colorado Springs, earned second in the International Rifle Match at the location, as junior Emme Walrath, 15, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, bested his score by only tenths for the overall win.

SGT Nick Mowrer, who made history as the first multi-discipline Olympic athlete, claimed the air pistol win at Camp Perry.

Coming off of notable performances at the 2021 National Three-Position Air Rifle and National Smallbore Matches fired this summer, Walrath also claimed third in the 3×20 Precision Rifle Match at the Camp Perry Monthly Match, trailing National Junior Team members Bremen Butler, 16, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Katrina Demerle, 16, of Hamilton, Ohio, who respectively earned second and first.

Other national-level competitors like SPC Tim Sherry, 27, of Fort Benning, Georgia, were frontrunners of events – overtaking the International Rifle category in Anniston. Sherry, a member of the Army Marksmanship Unit, was the 2021 National Smallbore Prone 6400 Aggregate and Iron Sight Champion during Camp Perry National Matches in July.

Notable showings were also given by juniors Amarissa Jackson, 18, of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, and Mallory Johnson, 15, of Cookeville, Tennessee, who led the 3×20 Sporter matches at Camp Perry and Anniston, as well as Elysa Walter, 17, of Sugar Hill, Georgia, who earned the 3×20 Precision Match overall win in Alabama. Each athlete has competed at multiple CMP matches, including the National Postal Competitions.

A worthwhile opportunity to earn valuable competitive experience and learn alongside an array of exceptional athletes, only two Monthly Matches remain for the 2021 season: Oct. 9 and Nov. 13.
