Morales, Middletown Post 151 Earn Historic Wins During 2026 CMP Three-Position National Championships

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – In June, Bryan Morales, 17, of Middletown Post 151 from New York, recorded a historic win for his school – becoming the first air rifle national champion after earning the sporter title at the 2026 CMP National Three-Position Air Rifle Championship.

“It started a little off,” Morales admitted with a laugh, speaking of his finals performance.

Before the final, he had forgotten his sling and glove in the parking lot, but once someone from his team retrieved them and brought them back to the range, he was equipped and ready to go.

“I overcame it, and I thought about shooting – how far I came here,” he explained. “I heard everyone else cheering my name, so it gave me more motivation.”

Not only did Morales’s team serve as his personal support during the match but they built each other up enough to earn the overall sporter team win with a score of 4,400-155X – a full 22 points over second place team, Zion Benton High School of Illinois. Pearl City Chargers High School from Hawaii took third with a score of 4,306-128X.

A NEW CMP PODCAST IS OUT!

In this episode, we speak with CMP's Hank Gray, who tells us more about one of the core aspects of the Civilian Marksmanship Program: education.

Gray arrived at the CMP after a long career within the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and a full career that included national-level successes and even a few trips to the Paralympic Games as coach of Team USA.

Now, he's working to expand and improve our educational offerings through existing outlets and new initiatives already in the works. Whether a novice or expert, it's a great time to become involved in the sport!

Find this podcast through our website at https://thecmp.org/cmp-podcasts/, on our YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcasts!

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is excited to welcome Olympic Silver Medalist Lucas Kozeniesky to the CMP team as our new Athlete Development Manager!

Lucas brings an exceptional level of experience to CMP as one of the most accomplished rifle athletes in the United States.

A two-time Olympian and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Silver Medalist, Lucas has competed at the highest levels of international shooting and has dedicated much of his career to helping athletes improve through Team Winning Solutions.

In his new role, Lucas will focus on the development of junior athletes across the country, helping CMP create stronger pathways for young shooters to progress from grassroots competition to the national and international levels.

This is an exciting step forward for CMP and for the future of junior marksmanship in the United States. Lucas’ experience as an elite athlete, coach and mentor will be an incredible resource as we continue expanding opportunities for the next generation of competitors.

Please join us in welcoming Lucas Kozeniesky to the CMP team! 🇺🇸 🎯 🥈
