The Ohio National Guard biathlon team competed in the Chief of the National Guard Bureau Biathlon Championships March 2-6, 2014, at the Ethan Allen Firing Range in Jericho, Vt. More than 140 athletes from 21 states participated in the competition. The mission of the National Guard Biathlon program is to develop the highest levels of skiing and rifle marksmanship necessary to improve the combat ability of individual Airmen and Soldiers. Members of the National Guard All-Guard Biathlon Team were represented on the 1988, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 U.S. Winter Olympic Biathlon Team. The National Guard Biathlon program is the only Department of Defense organization that consistently sends Soldiers to the Olympics. |
