Cornwall Sea Cadet Range Team placed 2nd at Provincial Competition.

Stormont Corps won the 2012 Zone Shoot and qualified for the Provincial Competition as the last place team. The Provincials were held over the weekend of April 13 – 15th at the Canadian Forces Base Trenton with twenty one teams present to demonstrate their air rifle skills.

Stormont pulled together and surprised many of their competitors as well as coaches and administrative staff by shooting well over their average and coming in 2nd. The competition was close with only 30 points separating 1st to 10th place.

PO2 Ronkin tied for third place overall and earned a spot in the upcoming National Air Rifle Competition to be held in Valcartier Quebec May 5th – 12th. A/SLT Saucier will also be attending the Nationals as a coach.
