Congratulations to The Hayfield “Hawkeyes” 3PAR Sporter Air Rifle Team as they earned 2nd place in the FCPS JROTC annual 3 PAR Air Rifle Competition. The Hayfield JROTC program hosted the annual Air Rifle Competition at the Arlington-Fairfax chapter of the Isaak Walton League with 50 participants.
This is an annual event held in early Spring as the final match for the season. This event is unique in that the Cadets get to experience the same targeting and scoring technology use in the Olympics air rifle competition.
Congratulations to the following individual Cadets:
- Cadet Corporal John Michael Encarnacion who placed 2nd with a score of 66 in standing. This position is considered the least stable position to shoot from and therefore the most difficult.
- Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Caden Ritchie who place 2nd in the individual overall with a score of 228 out of 300; and 1st in individual standing and 2nd in individual kneeling.
