U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- On Sunday, March 13, 2022 at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park in Talladega, Ga., the CCMU 9-A Centerfire Team, firing three Glock 34’s, a Walther PPQ and Orr Tactical ammunition, won the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) 2022 National Championship.
The cadets from Texas A&M have now won this event in 7 of the last 9 years reaching back to 2013.
The CCMU Centerfire 9-A team won the event and the national title, while three other CCMU centerfire teams composed primarily of freshman and sophomore cadets also competed in the match (a SASP team is a four-person squad, the team score for the competition is the total time of the four individuals on the squad.)
At the national championship match, there are many divisions in which to compete such as: rimfire rifle and pistol, rimfire rifle and pistol with optics, PCC, etc, but the National Championship Trophy Pistol Cup named for Daniel Hodne is awarded only to the highest-scoring team firing striker-fired centerfire pistols.
The CCMU 9-A National Championship Team:
- Cadet Joshua Delgado ‘22
- Cadet Holdon Perez ‘22
- Cadet Rheily Garcia ‘24
- Cadet H. “Gage” Lange ’24
The CCMU 9-A team also won 2nd place in the 1911 pistol division firing their Staccato (formerly STI) of Georgetown, TX 2011 9mm iron-sighted pistols. A testament to the quality and shootability of these Staccato handguns is that the 9-A cadet team did not fire these handguns in practice prior to competing at nationals so as not to interfere with their training and preparation for firing their striker-fired handguns.
The 2022 national championship match was attended by 16 college programs from across the United
