Congratulations to MDJRC athlete, Maggie Palfrey on her win yesterday in the American Legion National 3P Air R***e Precision Championship!!

Maggie will receive a $5,000 scholarship provided by The American Legion and Sons of The American Legion, along with a trip to The American Legion’s 107th national convention in Louisville, Ky., in late August to be honored alongside other American Legion youth champions.

Everett Smith completed qualification in high enough ranking to earn him a place in the final where he finished 7th. Everett was also honored to receive The Francis M. Redington Sportsmanship Award exemplifying the highest standards of good sportsmanship, fair play, and a positive "can-do" spirit on the range.

We are incredibly proud of both athletes and are excited to see where they go in the future!!!

Thank you to the American Legion for hosting a fantastic match and a survival thank you to Mountaineer Post 174 for all their support of our program!
