JROTC cadets return home national champions

by Nick Delgado

Guam - More than 50 public high school students came back from a weeklong competition in Los Angeles, California last night. Students from George Washington High's Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps drill team were able to take home several awards from this year's Golden Bear Drill Meet.

Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Luke Tedtaotao said, "The unarmed drill team from GW placed 3rd Place overall, out of 62 teams. During my freshman year, we won a national championship, so coming in as a national champion and leaving my senior year as a national champion is a great way to end your career in the JROTC program!"

Gemisha Iglesias, a Cadet 2nd Lieutenant, proudly added, "I competed against 200 cadets and I got 6th Place representing Guam."
