McMichael Marksmanship Team Shines at Competitions

Post by pilkguns »

The McMichael Air Force JROTC Marksmanship team continues on their road to success. The team of Thomas Gilmore, Charles Collins, Ashley Durham, Macey Tucker and Seth Akers recently competed at the Air Force National Championships and the US JR Invitation National Championship.
In competition, each shooter fires a .177 caliber air rifle in the standing, prone, and kneeling position.

The team shot at the Air Force National Championships on February 19-23 in Alabama to bring home the silver medal. Cadet Ashley Durham placed #1 overall individual Air Force and is the Air Force Champion with Cadet Thomas Gilmore #4 and Cadet Charles Collins #5.

They also shot at the US JR Invitational National Championship in Georgia on February 23-27. On day 1 they shot into first by a margin of 20 points and on day 2 extended their lead to over 50 points and brought home the gold medal being named the 2014 US JR Invitational National Champions. Cadet Ashley Durham is the Individual National Champion with Cadet Thomas Gilmore #4 and Cadet Charles Collins #5.

The team will travel to Port Clinton, OH on March 19-23 to compete in the JROTS National Championship and April 2-4 to shoot in the USA South Regional Championships, with the goal of qualifying to shoot in the US JR Olympics in June.

The team is in their 6th year of competitive shooting and is coached by MSgt Scott Davis, Air Force JROTC Instructor at DMHS.
Congratulations to the DMHS Marksmanship Team and good luck in your future competitions!
