The First Team Air Rifle club at Stewarts Creek High School finished first in the Tennessee regional qualifications for the JR. Olympic Match.

The team — Logan Chapman, Zachary Parsons, Jared Redito, Anthony Lamantia and Abby Highfill — has now qualified for the National Jr Olympic Match this summer at Camp Perry in Ohio.

Head coach Joel Payne will be requesting funding from the 7th Brigade to help with expenses of traveling to Ohio for the national event. There are no seniors on this year’s team and as good as they’ve performed, Payne expects them to be that much better a year from now.

The regional event was recently held at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
