Career Center Golden Knights Finish 1st  at Raider Challenge Invitational

The Career Center's Army JROTC kept the first-place trophy for their Golden Knight Raider Challenge Invitational at home for the second time since 2005 when they began hosting the invitational.

The Golden Knights topped three-time defending champion Wayne Memorial as well as teams from Westland John Glenn and four Detroit Public Schools high schools in the competition held Oct. 22-23 at Camp McGregor.

I knew we had a good chance at being at the top, and I am very proud of our finish said SGT Thomas Emond. They gave everything they had and took first or second in all seven events! Our cadets have placed second the last three years to Wayne Memorial.

This time, Wayne Memorial took second place while Detroits Cass Tech ended up third.

During the trophy presentation I asked (a cadet) why she was crying, said Emond, and her response was, I've given this team everything and had to settle for second the last two competitions, and this year, we can call ourselves champions.

The Career Centers first-place team represented eight different Jackson-area public school districts and was lead by co-captains Stephen Dulworth of Jackson High and Chase Perry of Hanover-Horton. Other team members included Hank Reger (Columbia Options), Sean Watkins (East Jackson), David Grayson (Columbia Central), Lindsay Olmstead ( Springport), Sarah Thode (Western Options), Kaela Ramey (Jackson High), David Clemons (Michigan Center), and Ajalon St. Charles (Napoleon).

The Jackson Area Career Centers Army JROTC team was a 1/2-point from earning the first-place trophy at the Golden Knight Raider Challenge Invitational.

We hosted 85 Army JROTC cadets from Detroit, Wayne, and Westland on Oct. 23-24 at Camp McGregor, and the Golden Knights fell just short of Wayne Memorial High School for the top spot. Detroit Renaissance High School placed third.

This event offers a great opportunity to competitively challenge individual teams and build partnerships with neighboring Army JROTC programs, said LTC Curt Lapham, JROTC instructor. The goal was to have a great time while being physically challenged.

Each team was made up of eight cadets and two alternatives. Cadets spent the night at the camp and woke early Saturday morning to compete in individual and team events. The competition included an academic exam, air-rifle marksmanship, push-ups and sit-ups, an obstacle course, litter carry, the tuff-one and finisted with a 3K run.

This year's Golden Knight Team was Hanover-Hortons Kortney Smith (team captain) , Joshua Heller, Chase Perry, and T.J. Snyder; Columbia Centrals David Grayson, Napoleons Alec Granando, Concords Anisoara Foca and Brock Sierminski, Jackson Highs Justin Hoyt, and daVincis Vincent Kirby.
