AEESCI will be sending athletes to Fairbanks to take part in this event. JORQ is a requirement for those athletes that wish to qualify for the National Junior Olympics in 2024.

Per USA Shooting,

“The National Junior Olympic program provides competitions year-round for shooters to partake in. The program runs matches throughout the country, making it accessible for all interested juniors. Junior shooters are able to participate in State Competitions sanctioned by USA Shooting, allowing them the chance to receive an invitation to shoot at the National Junior Olympic Championships hosted by USA Shooting in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The program serves as an important element of our pipeline development system in promoting the shooting sports. Junior Olympic goals are to allow the skilled junior athletes to obtain National competitive experience for future development. The program also serves as an opportunity to appoint the top finishers to the National Junior Team. The National Junior Olympic Rifle & Pistol program runs from Fall to early Spring, with the NJOSC held in April.”
