We were a host for USA Shooting’s junior Olympic rifle competition referred to as the JORC. Over 20 juniors from around Ohio and 4 from other states competed in the matches. The matches were 3 position smallbore and standing air rifle.

The state winners and those who score above a certain score will get an invitation to compete in the National Championship held at the Olympic training center in Colorado. Three of our shooters fall into this category at this point. Annabelle Stanec won the women’s gold for both air and smallbore, this will be 2 years in a row for Annabelle to get invitations for both guns. Josh Kovach was the gold medal winner for men’s smallbore, Antonio Remedios fired a qualifying score for air rifle. Christina Holden won the bronze medal in women’s air.

Depending on how the scores are from around the rest of the country
