Again this year, the weather could not have been better – sunny with about a high of 70 degrees. 

From the get-go the Army ROTC’s three competing teams gave it all they had to continue their winning streak. But, with such fierce competition, from both the Air Force and Navy/Marines teams, it just wasn’t their year. In the end, the first team from Navy/Marines ROTC came out the top points winner. So, the Tri-Mil trophy will be displayed in their Midshipmen Ward Room/Lounge until next year.

The events for this year were the sprint-drag-carry (95 lbs weight drag, 2-10 lbs kettlebell run, 90 lbs sandbag carry). Following the circuit event came the pugil stick matches and the tug-of-war. 

Congratulations to all competitors that came out and gave it their all.
