JROTC, besides being a class, also has a few special teams such as: Color Guard, Drill, PT Team, Raiders Team and many more. Drill and Rifle is one of the competitions in which the cadets of our school that are part of these “special teams” can attend.
The Northwest Drill and Rifle Conference – Lincoln Drill Meet took place on February 3rd, 2024. It was a highly competitive event, and I’m excited to share the results with you.
Physical Strength Teams
In the Physical Strength category, PT Team #1 once again showcased their exceptional skills and took home the 1st Place team trophy. Additionally, Jackson Lord and Wyatt Blanchard demonstrated their individual strengths and abilities by securing 2nd and 3rd place in the Ironman competition. Elira Blanchard, on the other hand, claimed the 1st place Ironwoman medal, showcasing her outstanding physical abilities.
Marksmanship
Moving on to the Marksmanship category, our Sporter Rifle team displayed their precision and skill, earning them the 1st place trophy. The Precision Rifle team also performed admirably, securing the 2nd place team trophy. Eryn McAvoy and Jordan West stood out as exceptional individual Precision shooters, placing 2nd and 3rd respectively, narrowly missing the top spot by just 1 point. Carl Sambuena and Adriana Hecker contributed to the team’s success by securing the 2nd and 3rd place Sporter Individual Medals.
