Sutton, Hampton Top Performers at CMP 3PAR Regionals

April 20, 2015

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸Sutton, Hampton Top Performers at CMP 3PAR Regionals

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

 

Sarah Sutton, 17, of Black Swamp Jr. Rifle, OH, remained the leader of the precision class during the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Three-Position Air Rifle Regional Championship after all competitors finished firing at the three designated locations – Camp Perry, OH; Anniston, AL; and Sandy, UT.

Over 650 competitors fired at the CMP Regional Championships – held in Camp Perry, OH; Anniston, AL; and Sandy, UT. Regional competitors were the overall top individuals and teams from the Postal competition held in November. Overall junior marksmen from all three locations will be invited to the CMP Nationals in Anniston in June.

Regional competitors were the overall top individuals and teams from the Postal competition held in November. Overall junior marksmen from all three locations will be invited to the CMP Nationals in Anniston in June.

Sutton set the bar at the Camp Perry location in March with her score of 1285 – a performance that no other precision competitor could match.

At last year’s Regionals, Sutton made her mark as a powerful contender – finishing in second overall. She also managed to snag the gold along with the rest of her Black Swamp crew at the 2014 Regional Championship, as they were named the overall precision team leaders.

Sarah Sutton of Black Swamp Jr. Rifle bested the precision field to earn the first place spot at the top of the podium.

The Camp Perry location at this year’s Regionals seemed to house some of the most successful athletes as Caleb Lloyd, 17, of Seitzland Junior Rifle Team, PA, held his second place position behind Sutton with a score of 1283.9, while Justin Kleinhans, 15, of Black Swamp Jr. Rifle, maintained third with a score of 1282.8.

Black Swamp Jr. Rifle finished in first place during the Regional Championship for the second year. The  team dominated the field by more than 20 points and will be sure to make other talented teams nervous at Nationals.

Brian Hampton, 18, of the Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club, NC, outshot the rest of the sporter class individuals with his score of 1220.5.

Last year, Hampton set two National Records at the National Junior Olympic competition (ran the same week as the CMP Nationals): 96.6 finals score and an overall score of 653.6x. With his outstanding performance in that match, he finished in first place. Hampton also displayed remarkable talent at last year’s CMP Nationals, with an exceptional finals showing and a third-place finish.

Brian Hampton of Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club led the sporter competition to finish in first place. Last year, Hampton set two new National Records during the National Junior Olympic match, which participants of the CMP National Championship are invited to participate in during the week of competition.

Behind Hampton at the 2015 Regional event was Gabriel Palermo, 18, of Freeport High School, IL, who finished with a score of 1215.9. Adam McClintock, 18, of Flowing Wells JROTC, AZ, rounded out the Top 3 with his score of 1204.9 for third.

Last year, McClintock finished in first place during the Regional event, but failed to place at Nationals after failing to bring his equipment to the venue – a mistake that his coach CW3 (ret) Ronald James says will be different at this year’s National Championship.

“He has a lot of people to remind him this year,” said James, with a laugh. “He won’t be forgetting.”

Adam McClintock of Flowing Wells JROTC was the overall third-place finisher in the sporter class – earning gold at the Utah location. McClintock was the overall individual during last year’s Regional Championship and remains a tough competitor on the line.

The CMP 3PAR Championship is a 3×20 air rifle event where competitors fire 20 record shots from three positions: prone, standing and kneeling. School-aged marksmen involved in 4H, Scouts, American Legion, club or JROTC air rifle programs all meet on the firing line to compete against one another to be named the best junior in the nation.

 

Top Overall Regional Teams:

 

Sporter:

  1. Gulfport High School 1, MS – 4359-135x
  2. Freeport High School 1, IL – 4349-149x
  3. Lebanon High School JROTC 1, OR – 4326-153x

 

Precision:

  1. Black Swamp Jr. Rifle, OH – 4699-319x
  2. Hardcore 4, GA – 4677-302x
  3. Ashland Eagles, OH – 4667-298x

 

To reward the hard work of dedicated junior athletes and coaches, the CMP administers $21,000 towards teams who qualify for the Regional events, with an additional $21,300 for teams and individuals reaching the CMP National Championship.

Larry and Brenda Potterfield have again provided incredible donations to the Three-Position Air Rifle Championships. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Potterfield donated nearly $275,000 through generous MidwayUSA Foundation endowments to winning teams throughout the competition. The MidwayUSA Foundation is a public charity that helps communities and organizations raise funds in their MidwayUSA Foundation account to support their youth shooting teams and activities.

Lebanon High School finished in third place overall – nabbing the gold in Utah. Team members are Jasmine Wiles, Cody Bates, Alexander Eikelenboom and Michael Langdon. The team is coached by LTC Mark Smith (U.S. Army Ret.).
