Commemorating Heroes from 9/11
Saturday 9/9/2023, Patriots from across the Treasure Coast gathered to commemorate 9/11, first responders, and America’s Veterans. Ft. Pierce Central High School’s Raider team provided 10 volunteers and 6 competitors in the first Cadet Challenge physical fitness competition. Cadets from four JROTC programs and the Sea Cadets participated in a 3.43 mile ruck march and then the competitors each did as many push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups as they could in 2 minutes in each event. In the end, the Ft. Pierce Central team came out victorious. They received a plaque and a donation of $250. The team congratulated the other teams and looks forward to next year’s Cadet Challenge.
