Tokyo Olympians Take the Podium at CMP’s 2021 Camp Perry Open

June 9, 2021

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸Tokyo Olympians Take the Podium at CMP’s 2021 Camp Perry Open

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – SP4 Alison Weisz, 26, of the U. S. Army Marksmanship Unit was one of two Tokyo Olympic athletes who claimed wins at the Camp Perry Open marksmanship event (held Friday, May 21, to Sunday, May 23) – overtaking the 60 Shot Rifle Match with an outstanding score of 1261.9.

SP4 Alison Weisz was the overall competitor in the 60 Shot Air Rifle Match at the 2021 Camp Perry Open.

The 2021 Camp Perry Open attracted more than 250 athletes from around the nation in Three-Position and 60 Shot Air Rifle, 60 Shot Air Pistol and 3×40 Smallbore Rifle competition. The annual event is conducted by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center, located on the Camp Perry National Guard Training Base (also CMP Headquarters) in Ohio. 

“The goals and expectations I had coming into this match were, really, to just perform and focus on performance – whatever the outcome was, it was going to be, at the end of the day,” Weisz said. “A lot of the things I’ve been working on is mental training and technical training skills. Ultimately, I just wanted to come in and put those into action.”

She also admitted that the Camp Perry Open served as an avenue to work on her mindset and nerve control before she heads to this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo as a member of the U.S. Women’s Air Rifle team. 

“I’m so excited,” she said about her Olympic debut, with a smile behind her mask. “I’m so honored and blessed to have the opportunity.”

James Hall led the Air Pistol event. He’ll be traveling to the Tokyo Olympics as a member of Team USA this summer.

Another member of Team USA heading to Tokyo in 2021 who happened to also be at Camp Perry in May was James Hall, 37, of Columbia, Missouri. Hall was the overall winning competitor in the air pistol 60 Shot event at the Camp Perry Open, with a commanding score of 1156-39x. He’ll represent the United States in Air Pistol at the Olympics this summer.

Other Camp Perry Open competitors representing Team USA this year were Alexis Lagan and Sandra Uptagrafft, who will both be competing on the Women’s Sport Pistol team.

Remington Smith was the top Junior 60 Shot Air Pistol athlete and earned second in the Open category.

Earning second behind Hall as the top junior air pistol competitor was Remington Smith, 16, of Ashburn, Georgia. Smith had never been to Camp Perry but said its reputation certainly precedes itself.

“All I knew about Camp Perry was that it’s legendary and that it’s the Zenith of shooting complexes in the country,” he said with a grin. “Frankly, it was such an honor to get to shoot at such a range.”

Alexis Lagan will also be heading to Tokyo this year – her first Olympic showing.

Speaking of his performance over the weekend, Smith went on, “I wanted to continue shooting my average and raise it if I could. I’ve never shot at this range before, so I didn’t have any expectations, I would say. I was just hoping to take what I’ve learned at past matches and continue to grow upon that.”

Typically fired in January, the 2021 Camp Perry Open was strategically moved to May in order to allow the 3×40 Smallbore Rifle portion to be added to the schedule for the first time. Over 60 competitors took to the firing line on Camp Perry’s Petrarca Range to take advantage of the additional competitive opportunity.

Sandra Uptagrafft is another Olympic team member who attended the Camp Perry Open. She also appeared at the 2012 Olympics.
