Kyle Orr of Nation Ford High School set a new Marine Corps national record while competing in Arizona. The JROTC Air Rifle Service Championship is a 3×20 air rifle competition, where competitors fire 20 record shots from three positions: prone, standing and kneeling. The final stop in the JROTC Championship competition series will be the National Championship, set to be held at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry, Ohio, March 17-19.  During the JROTC Service Championships, Nation Ford High School from South Carolina overtook six of the top 10 places in the overall Marine Corps sporter category, with Kyle Orr, 17, earning the highest score of 1210-35X. Orr also fired a new Marine Corps JROTC national record score of 189-9X as part of his match performance. Following close behind were teammates Maya Cameron, 17, who placed second and Isabelle Fetting, 17, who took third. Unsurprisingly, the team led the Marine Corps sporter team results with their outstanding combined scores. Likewise, Granbury High School from Texas claimed eight of the top 10 places in the Marine Corps precision competition. Parker Haydin, 18, fired a score of 1292-100X to overtake the lead position, as teammates Kaylynn Slaughter, 16, and Ashton Arlington, 17, landed in second and third, respectively.
