 announces that its rifle team has won first place in the Sporter division at the National Service Championship held at Camp Perry, Ohio last weekend. Three team members also placed individually.

The Saint Thomas Academy team consisted of:

Tyler Johnson ’13 (captain) of Prescott, Wis.

Patrick Cramer ’14 of Minneapolis

Madden Chapman ’15 of St. Paul

Samuel Supplee ’15 of Eagan

Nicholas Caspers ’15 of Bloomington

Cramer, Johnson, and Chapman took third, fourth and fifth, respectively, overall as individuals. 

“This is our seventh time at this event, and our first national win,” said CW4 Paul Preblich, team advisor. “Our team has incredible depth, despite its youthfulness – four of five team members are first-time members. Only co-captain Johnson has participated in the team previously. They’re already outstanding and will only improve in the next few years. I look forward to coaching them and watching them compete.”
