“NJROTC Scores BIG!! Congratulations to the NJROTC competition team who, this weekend, travelled to and participated in one of Florida's largest and most competitive JROTC “State-Sanctioned” field meets of the school year.  Boca Raton, the 2009 National Champion “Runner Up” hosted the annual event on Saturday (the host does not compete).  The team improved significantly over it’s 3^rd Place finish at Mitchell High School in late October, where there were a field of twelve teams from around the state.  At Boca Raton, there were eighteen teams, five of which are ranked in the top seven in the state.  The Buc’s took home a well-deserved 3^rd Place beating all but two of those ranked teams; Flanagan who placed second and an improving Winter Park team who won the overall title.  The most significant accomplishment was beating Flanagan’s outstanding Academic Team for the first time in field meet competition.  The only (academic) team left to beat in Florida is Boca Raton, who the Buc’s will face if we make it to the State Championship in March.  Outstanding accomplishments were: 1^st Place Overall in Academics; 2^nd Place Overall in the 100m Relay; 3^rd Place Overall in Personnel Inspection, Unarmed Basic Drill and Sit-Ups; and 4^th Place Overall in both Armed Basic Drill and the 200m Relay.  Individual awards included 1^st Place Academics (Cody Boyet), 2^nd Place Academics (Aaron Heusted), and 2^nd Place Sit-Ups (Krystene Wills with 298 in the allotted time).  The next state-sanctioned field meet will be against twenty-four teams at Tampa Bay Tech High School on January 16^th.  Please try to make that short trip to support this rapidly improving team!”
