Massanutten Military Academy JROTC Team to Compete in National Academic Bowl Championship in Washington, DC
Woodstock, VA – 26 February 2016 -- After advancing through two phases of online competition, the Massanutten Military Academy's JROTC Academic Team composed of Kayla Foley, Zijing Liu, Alexander Lundgren, Milena Munoz, Liam Wall and Kevin Zhang will compete in person at the Championship event in Washington, DC. The 2016 Army JROTC Academic Bowl Championship will be held on the campus of The Catholic University of America, June 24-28, 2016. This event is sponsored by the Army JROTC and is conducted by College Options Foundation.
Massanutten Military Academy's JROTC team earned top scores out of the 1,498 Army JROTC teams that competed from around the world. The team is one of only twenty-four Army JROTC Academic Bowl teams in the nation to advance to the National Academic Bowl competition, which includes an all-expense paid trip to the Championship event in DC.
During the three fast-paced preliminary rounds, students were tested on their knowledge of JROTC curriculum, English, Math and Science. One of the main goals of the JROTC Academic Bowl is to prepare students for state exit/graduation exams as well as college entrance exams, such as the SAT and ACT.
The winner of the Army JROTC Academic Championship will compete against the winners of the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy JROTC Academic Bowls in the JROTC Joint Service Academic Bowl Championship.
