PRESIDENT'S FITNESS CHALLENGE

We are starting our annual President's Fitness Challenge this week.  Cadets who complete all 5 events with better than average scores when compared against their competitive group will be qualified to wear the NJROTC PT ribbbon.  Those with higher scores will qualify to wear distinctive devices--bronze for those who do better than 60 % of their competitive group, silver for those who do better than 70 % of their competitive group, and gold for those who do better than 85 % of their competitive group.  What's a competitive group?  Basically, boys compete against boys their age, girls compete against girls their age.  So, to qualify, a 16 year old male cadet would have to complete all five events with scores better than 50 % of the 16 year old males across the country.  This will be an ongoing event; in other words, if you don't quite qualify because of your score on the run, you may take the run again and try to better your score.  Good deal!
