Competitors in the JROTC Championship have been whittled down to the best of the best, as overall winners of the JROTC Regional Championships were determined February 13-15 and February 19-21 in the northern, southern and western locations.

The road to the JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle National Championship kicked off in October with its opening Postal Competition, where cadets from Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force JROTC programs submitted scores to the CMP to be compared against top junior shooters around the country.

A total of 11,515 young marksmen participated in the 2014-2015 Postal match, with the high overall shooters in each branch earning an invitation to the JROTC Regional Service Championships, held in Phoenix, AZ; Anniston, AL; and Camp Perry, OH. Top placing teams and individuals earned a seat to the big show – the 2015 JROTC National Championship.

Larry and Brenda Potterfield of the MidwayUSA Foundation have donated over $329,000 in generous endowments to winning teams and individuals of the Service Championships. The MidwayUSA Foundation is a public charity that helps communities and organizations raise funds to support youth shooting teams and activities.
