On September 12th, the Matanzas High School JROTC Raider Battalion delivered a commanding performance at the Wolfson Raider Competition, bringing home 1st Place Overall in both the Male and Female divisions. Led by Cadet LTC Pelipenko, the Male team swept top honors with 1st place finishes in the Rope Bridge, Cross Country Rescue, and Tire Flip. Commanded by Cadet CPT Rodrigue, the Female team put on an equally dominant display, taking 1st place in the Cross Country Rescue and Ammo Can, 2nd place in the 3K Run and Tire Flip, and setting the standard in the Rope Bridge with 1st place and the absolute fastest time of any team at the event. Through incredible endurance, tactical discipline, and relentless grit, both squads demonstrated true champion spirit in a historic double victory for the program.
