Good morning!
I was encouraged by a mutual friend, Beth Bouldin, to reach out and provide you with updates regarding the CCHS JROTC Raider team.
The CCHS JROTC Raider teams compete at the Varsity level against all-Male and Co-Ed teams across the US Army JROTC 4th Brigade (6 states -VA, SC, NC, WV, MD and DE – as well as DC). These young men and women compete in events that simulate real-world scenarios our soldiers face everyday with serving our country. Events include 5k (over-terrain run), Litter Carry (simulated casualty transport through various obstacles), TPFC (Team Physical Fitness Challenge), Rope Bridge (simulated over-water transport), then the 5th event can vary between Humvee Pull, Fireman’s Carry, and a Logistics Course (transporting supplies through various obstacles.)
Yesterday, the CCHS Raiders competed in the first event of the year in Roxboro, NC and placed 1st place overall in the Male division as well as 1st place overall in the Co-Ed division. Their next competition is in Pilot Mountain, NC on 10/5/24. The Male team then moves on to compete at the US Army JROTC Raider Nationals in Fort Knox, KY 10/25-10/26, having earned the spot by placing 2nd overall at the 4th Brigade Best of the Best competition in Chesterfield, VA last May. Best of the Best is the top 15+ teams from across the entire 4th Brigade, competing for a spot at Nationals.
If you would like to share, please feel free! These young men and women work hard to be competitive in the 4th Brigade, against schools much larger than ours and with a lot more resources at their disposal!
Thank You Beth and Thank You Marietta !
