NJROTC News:

Saturday Dec. 7, the Los Alamos high School NJROTC took 40 cadets and traveled to West Mesa High School in Albuquerque for the Area 9 West Academic Fitness & Drill Championship Meet.

Leaving LAHS at 6 a.m., they competed in their first event at 9 a.m., the Academic Test, which consisted of 50 naval science related questions with 30 seconds to answer each question.

They then hustled to the Unit Personnel Inspection where each cadet had a UNM midshipman inspect their uniform and ask questions that challenged their military knowledge and poise under pressure.

The two color guards were next on deck with the male and mixed competition followed immediately by the Unarmed and Armed team performing their regulation and exhibition routines.

The last events of the day were Physical Fitness and Tug-of-War. Cadets executed sit ups and pushups in sync to a cadence tape, ran a shuttle run relay, and completed a basketball throw. The indoor shuttle run and basketball throw took the place of a 16×100 and 8×220 relay due to inclement weather.

The Los Alamos High School NJROTC won the Overall First Place Trophy, which means they will now advance to the Area 9 Championship Meet in February, which qualifies them for the Navy Nationals meet in April.
