As most of you know, the Falcons recently competed against 25 of the Nation’s top-rated NJROTC units in their sixth bid to be the NJROTC National Champions. The event took place in Pensacola, Florida on 17 and 18 April. 40 cadets spread over five athletic and four drill teams gave it their all in this highly prestigious event. As a result, the Unit finished 4^th overall in the nation, which is very impressive considering there are well over 600 units in this great country of ours!

Many of our teams did extremely well, placing in the top 5 positions. These include:

Academic Team – 5^th Place Overall

Curl-up Team – 3^rd Place Overall

Push-up Team – 3^rd Place Overall

8 x 220 Yard Relay – 2^nd Place Overall

Drill Team Overall – 5^th Place Overall

Color Guard – 4^th Place Overall

Unarmed Platoon Exhibition – 5^th Place Overall

As mentioned above, all of the cadets did extremely well. You can check out the results of the entire competition by clicking on the scores for the 2009 Navy National Chamionships link.
