The Northmont NJROTC Athletics Team finished a strong fourth in this year's Harvest Physical Fitness Postal Competition, sponsored by the NJROTC unit at B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River, MA. The challenge featured 181 JROTC teams in PT, with Northmont just 5 points behind third-place Kennesaw Mountain (GA) High School, and just 27 points behind first-place J.W. Mitchell High School from New Port Richey, FL. Second place went to Bloom Trail High School in Chicago Heights. Northmont's top male athlete was Cadet O'Shea, and the top female athlete was Cadet Lowman.
This award underscores the hard work the Athletics Team members put in daily as they prepare for Regional competition at the Area Three Drill Meet next weekend.
Athletics is a demanding team that requires all cadets to meet the physical standards set before them. After competing in several athletics postals throughout the year, the Athletics Team will travel to Area 3 competition in Columbus in March, where they will prove their prowess in pushups, situps, and 100-meter and 220-meter relays. Depending on their success at Area 3, the team may travel to Pensacola to compete in Navy Nationals, where the competition level is fierce!
To practice YOUR pushups and situps, use the UP/DOWN cadence!
