On Saturday, April 13th, The Sam Rayburn High School Army JROTC Raider Team from Pasadena, Texas, traveled to San Antonio, Texas, to compete in Fifth Brigade’s Inaugural JROTC Raider Championships held at The Camp Henson Training Facility. This austere event began with a 5 K Cross Country Run for all teams and included extreme physical activities such as an Obstacle Course, Cross Country Litter Carry, One Rope Bridge, and Physical Team Test.
