A team from West Virginia State University's Army ROTC
program recently traveled to Fort Pickett, Va. for the Ranger Challenge.
The 11-member team from WVSU finished ninth in competition
with similarly sized programs, placing ahead of schools such as Hampton, Howard
and Virginia State University, according to a news release from WVSU.
The WVSU team also bested its finish from the 2011 Ranger
Challenge when it finished in 10th place.
This year's annual Ranger Challenge featured more than 400
cadets from 89 ROTC programs from throughout a multi-state region. The two-day
event included competitions in a variety of physical and mentally challenging
events planned along an 8-mile route, such as assembling rifles, land
navigation and operating common military radios.
The WVSU cadets will participate in a training exercise in
the spring that also will include West Virginia University and Marshall
University.
The Yellow Jacket Battalion at WVSU features students from
WVSU, the University of Charleston, Glenville State College and the WVU
Institute of Technology. A total of 60 cadets in the battalion, and 16 of them
are WVSU students.
