West Point-bound MTSU Bold Warriors earn top region award
MURFREESBORO — MTSU’s 11-member Ranger Challenge team will have some mid-October efforts rewarded this Thursday morning.
The team will be honored with the presentation of the first-place award it captured during the annual Bold Warrior Challenge Oct. 14 at Ft. Knox, Ky.
Col. Michael Chinn, 7th Brigade commander and cadet commander at Ft. Knox, will deliver the award to the MTSU ROTC program team Nov. 10 at 11:30 a.m. The presentation will be held, weather permitting, outside the Tom H. Jackson Building at the military memorial site between Kirksey Old Main and Rutledge Hall. The public is invited. In the event of inclement weather, the event will move inside to Cantrell Hall.
Ranger Challenge team members include Brandon Pearson, Kim Isham, Kenneth Davie, Chase Morris, Elizabeth Dang, Elliot Ralston, Justin McIntosh, Brenden Duke, Wesley Smitty, Austin Blanchard and William Kemp. Pearson serves as team captain.
Capt. Aaron Billingsley and Master Sgt. Chad Price are cadre instructors for the team.
By virtue of its first-place showing, the team will advance to The Sandhurst Competition, an international event, in April 2012 at West Point, N.Y.
Lt. Col. T.K. Kast is professor of military science, overseeing the military science program — one of 10 College of Basic and Applied Sciences departments.
