Civilian Marksmanship Program▸State Director▸South Carolina▸Nation Ford’s Cameron Earns Overall Wins, National Records at 2022 National Sporter Air Rifle Championship

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – Nation Ford High School’s Marine Corps JROTC, coming off a Three-Position National Championship title its members achieved in March, saw Maya Cameron, 18, leading all matches at the 2022 National Three-Position Sporter Air Rifle Championship.

Maya Cameron of Nation Ford earned first place overall in both the Junior Olympic and CMP events.

The National Championship for the sporter class was held June 23-25, 2022, at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center in Ohio. A group of 122 junior athletes from 4-H, Scouts, American Legion, club and JROTC air rifle programs fired in the event, which facilitated two different matches: the Junior Olympic Three-Position Nationals and the CMP Nationals. 

During her winning performances, Cameron set a new overall and MCJROTC national record in the Junior Olympic competition with a finals score of 443.9 and two new national overall and MCJROTC records for her outstanding finals score of 448.8 in the CMP match.

The National Three-Position Championship features junior scholastic and club athletes from around the country.

Cameron, who served as captain of the Nation Ford team for three years, will be taking her talents to North Georgia University where she’ll compete on the school’s own rifle team.

Nation Ford was also the leading sporter team each day of the National Three-Position Air Rifle Championship while fielding a third and second place team and five top three individual finishes. Unsurprisingly, Nation Ford was the high scholastic team in both matches.

Also earning a spot on the podium was Tha Dah, 17, of Des Moines Central MCJROTC from Iowa, who claimed second place in the Junior Olympic match.
