Raider Challenge

Nearly 100 Junior ROTC cadets from North and South Carolina competed during the morning and early afternoon in the Junior ROTC Raider Competition at Westover High School. The event for teams of high school students mirrors the Army's annual Best Ranger Competition at Fort Benning, GA. This contest is all about endurance and physical strength. Twenty-five four person teams competed in five events, including the commander's obstacle course with low crawl, carrying water cans, flipping tires, picking up logs, sprinting and finally climbing a 65-foot inflatable.
