2023 JROTC National 3 Position Air Rifle Championships

  • Our top Marksmanship Team just returned from Camp Perry Ohio from the 2023 JROTC National 3 Position Air Rifle Championships. After 2 rounds of National Qualification Tournaments held over 5 months which started with over 1100 teams from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine JROTC 3PAR shooting programs, we finished 8th in the nation. We finished first in the State of Texas giving us our 5th Texas State JROTC championship in 6 years. We were 2nd nationally among Marine Corps JROTC shooting programs. To recap: 8th of over 1100+ teams nationally. Number 1 of every JROTC team, from every service, in Texas.

     

       "Congratulations to the Hays Marine Corps JROTC 3 Position Air Rifle team for finishing in the top 1% of shooting programs in the nation at the 2023 JROTC National Championships held last week in Camp Perry, OH. The journey to this final round was long. It began in November with over 1100 teams from the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force. Of these 1100 plus teams, only the top 112 qualified to attend their respective Service Championships which were held in February. Of these 112 teams, only the top 28 (7 from each service) were invited to the JROTC National 3PAR Championships. Hays Red was one of 7 teams who qualified for the United States Marine Corps. 

       After posting very solid scores during each day of competition, Hays Marksmanship finished in 8th place nationally. That finish was the top score in the state of Texas among every JROTC service and gave Hays marksmanship their 5th Texas State JROTC championship in the past 6 years. The team was comprised of Brynn Gray, Alexis Guerrero, Kobie Talavera, Sophia Padilla, and Celeste Guerrero. Next up nationally for Hays 3PAR is the National Junior Olympics and Civilian Marksmanship National Championships which are both held 21-25 June. Hays qualified both it's Red and Blue teams for this event. Only 56 teams nationally qualified for these events."
