A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE JOSHUA PRINCE FOR 
WINNING THE 2026 ALL-SERVICE JROTC NATIONAL AIR RIFLE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, Joshua Prince, 
a senior at Fort Mill High School, has demonstrated exceptional dedication, 
discipline, and marksmanship skill; and

Whereas, in February 
2026, Cadet Prince competed in the JROTC Marine Corps National Air Rifle 
Championship with elite marksmen from two hundred seventy Marine Corps JROTC 
programs in Sandy, Utah, and was one of eight competitors to advance to the 
final championship round. At the end of two grueling days of precision shooting 
and posting an outstanding aggregate score of 1,123-47, he earned the title of 
Marine Corps National Champion; and

Whereas, this 
achievement qualified Cadet Prince to compete in the prestigious, 
invitation-only JROTC All-Service National Air Rifle Championships held at Camp 
Perry, Ohio, a historic venue renowned for its role in American marksmanship 
and as host of the National Matches; and

Whereas, the 
All-Service National Championships featured 114 of the nation's top JROTC 
marksmen representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, each a champion 
within their respective branch; and

Whereas, throughout 
this exclusive competition, Joshua Prince distinguished himself through exceptional 
composure and precision, finishing first overall to claim the title of JROTC 
All-Service National Champion; and

Whereas, in achieving 
this distinction, he also set a new Marine Corps record, further highlighting 
the historic significance of his performance; and

Whereas, his accomplishment 
brings great pride and national recognition to Fort Mill High School, the Fort 
Mill community, and York County; and

Whereas, Joshua 
Prince's journey from cadet to Marine Corps JROTC National Champion to All-Service 
National Champion exemplifies the core values of perseverance, excellence, and 
commitment exemplified by Cadet Prince and fostered by JROTC programs 
nationwide. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and congratulate Joshua Prince for winning the All-Service 
JROTC National Air Rifle Championship.
