Mary Carroll High School

🎉 Congratulations to Mary Carroll High School NJROTC! 🎉 Over the last two weeks, our NJROTC athletes have been showcasing their skills in Drill and Orienteering competitions. We're thrilled to announce that they achieved their best performance of the year in Unarmed Regulation, placing 7th out of 17 teams against Area-18 schools from South and Central Texas! A special shout out to Cadet Lieutenant Commander Talyia Porter, the Unarmed Regulation team captain, for her outstanding leadership and dedication. 🏅👏 Additionally, our cadets traveled to McKinney Falls State Park in southeast Austin to compete in the A-18 state championship for Orienteering. They ran an incredible race, placing 3rd out of 17 varsity teams from across South and Central Texas, nearly earning an invitation to nationals! 🌟 Individual recognition goes to Jordynn Escobedo, who had the fastest varsity female time and the fastest female time of the day for the Austin Orienteering Club. 🏃‍♀️💨 Great job, team!
