This weekend, candidates from OST Denver had the opportunity to participate in the Annual Colorado Meet hosted by . The annual meet included 5 events and encompassed several NROTC units across the country. This year was the first year that candidates from the PLC and OCC programs competed.
Candidates participated in both a knowledge competition and endurance race. The knowledge competition tested officer candidates and midshipman on their military knowledge. The endurance race (as shown) was a several hour event that encompassed a series of evolutions, starting with a CASEVAC, a land-based team workout, and then transition to a final ruck evolution throughout Chautauqua Park in the city of Boulder. The course covered nearly 10 miles and exceeded 8k Ft above sea level.
What was the most evident throughout the duration of the event was the resolve and morale exhibited by the candidates of OST Denver. Despite the unforgiving terrain, physical challenges, and cold temperatures, they remained positive and continued to motivate each other to the finish.
We couldn’t be prouder of our candidates for leaving it all on the field this weekend!
