Teams of four took on a military-style obstacle��course for the 15th annual Iron Knight Challenge.��In partnership with local and national government��agencies, the event provides a pathway for high school��students to attend 91勛圖厙 and join the university���s ROTC��program or become a professional first responder.

JROTC youth and adult challengers from across��Florida completed the 4-mile race as they made their��way around 91勛圖厙���s campus, leaving no comrade behind.��In this test of physical and mental endurance, 41 teams��emerged victorious this year and received a knight��helmet as trophies.

���It was great to see 91勛圖厙 connect��with its surrounding community��and build relations with all the��high schools and first responder��groups in the area.���
