The 11th annual PCH and PCW JROTC march and push-up contest was a textbook display of spirit, camaraderie, grit, and competition. PCH Air Force JROTC Cadets marched in formation from PCH to the Bethany Fire Department, where they met up with PCW Army JROTC Cadets for a high-stakes push-up contest, before the PCW Cadets marched from there to PCW. PCH JROTC took home the push-up contest win, breaking PCW's 2-year streak.
