This is the first year that Concordia has participated in the academic bowl.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They did great,&#8221; said SFC (R) Alan Conrad, who leads the JROTC program at Concordia. &#8220;I asked them how they prepared, and they said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWe did our studies.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Concordia&#8217;s JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp) develops students to be confident, caring Christian leaders and citizens. Students learn leadership skills, problem-solving, planning and organizational skills, decision making processes, team building, effective speaking, and writing.<\/p>\n<p>Teams qualified for the competition by advancing through two rounds of competitive online play against 1,512 other teams. Concordia&#8217;s team qualified among only 24 Army JROTC Academic Bowl teams in the nation. Concordia&#8217;s academic team was comprised of c\/MAJ Mitchell Scott, c\/2LT Tucker Bennett, c\/2LT Jackson Wagner and c\/Derek Egolf. The competition took place at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., on June 26-30.<\/p>\n<p>Concordia also competed with a team in the 2015 Army JROTC Leadership Bowl Championship. Team members were c\/2LT Hannah Martin, c\/SSG Colin Brieschaft, c\/SGT Faith Poor and c\/SGT Elizabeth Evans. Those results are not yet available.<\/p>\n<p>The JROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl is a nationally recognized academic competition created exclusively for JROTC students.
