Tri-Service JROTC Field Meet_SJHS JROTC Champions!
We competed against 8 other JROTC programs and took home the 1st place trophy for the 2nd year in a row! It came down to the final event (tug of war) to determine the winner and we dominated!
We placed 1^st in the Trail Run and the Tug of War,
2nd in the Challenge Course (included a mud crawl)
3rd in Primitive Weapons (spear throwing)
And didn't do that great in Fire Starting and Land Navigation (they got lost again) :-).
Ms. Cole and I told the Cadets if we won, we'd go thru the mud crawl, so afterwards we went thru the mud. Additionally, please congratulate Christopher Walker for winning the Individual Knockout competition.  They literally did drill for 15 minutes non-stop to determine the winner (final 2 were drilling for 10 minutes, they were dizzy).
