TITAN RAIDERS REPEAT: The Heide Trask High School JROTC Raider Team earned their fourth consecutive Virginia-based championship by winning “Raider Guard,” Fort Pickett, VA, on April 8, 2006. Titans had previously won “Raider North” at Powhatan State Park in Virginia in April and again in November of last year as well as last April’s “Raider Guard” meet at Pickett.
Sponsored by Fishburne Military School, this year’s “Raider Guard” featured 17 teams competing in six (6) fitness & military skills related events. The Titan “Blue” team took first place in first aid/litter carry and leadership reaction course, second in physical fitness and third in both the rope bridge and forced march. Their overall score of 460 was fifty points better than Fishburne’s second place tally of 410. The Titan “Gray” team also trophied by taking third place in the first aid/litter carry event.
Winning individual medallions for the Titans were Angel Roman who won the push-up competition with 94 push-ups in one minute and Travis Dunn whose 5:35 mile time was third best in the meet.
The “Blue” team was led by Cory Love. The “Gray” team was led by Shane Hobbs who, except for an injury, would normally have led the program's "Blue" entry. |
