The results are in for the 2023-2024 JROTC Three-Position Postal Air Rifle Championship. The competition was facilitated by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), running from September to December.
The JROTC Postal Championship is a three-position competition where high school sporter and precision air rifle athletes from across the country fire upon official targets at their home ranges and return them to the CMP Headquarters for scoring. Teams and individuals are ranked against one another, with top competitors moving on to the JROTC Service Championships – set to be held in Utah, Alabama and Ohio in February 2024.
A total of 5,875 junior athletes competed in the Postal event. Finishing as the overall sporter competitor in the JROTC Postals was Celeste Guerrero, 17, of Buda, Texas, with a score of 285-14X. Kameron Wells, 18, of Granbury, Texas, was the leading precision individual with a score of 298-25X.
