The Raider Competition was held at Warren County High School in McMinnville, TN. Campbell County won first in the Tire Stacker competition, 3^rd place in the Obstacle Course, 4^th in the Gauntlet, 2nd place in the Physical Team Test, 2nd in Cross Country Rescue, and1st in the Rope Bridge competition, for an overall first place win.

Lester said he was proud of the students and that their hard work was paying off.

That’s a lot of trophies! CCHS JROTC Raiders cleaned up at the Warren County Raider competition, winning first place overall, along with other top honors.

“We finished ahead of two teams that were last year’s Overall National Champions; teamwork,” Lester said.

The JROTC students have continued to make improvements and “gains” at competitions since the start of the school year. They competed at the Clarkrange Raider Competition on August 24^th, earning numerous awards and wins, including 4^th overall Male division, first place in the Truck and Pull Run and second in the Rope Bridge. They leveled up at the September 7^th Fairview Raider Competition with a second-place overall win and streamlined their efforts into a first place win last Saturday in Warren County.
