It's a Game of Inches

CAMP DODGE, Iowa - “It’s a game of inches,” said Lt. Col. Josh C. Sauls, professor of military science, for the University of North Dakota, during the final event. “A rolled ankle could be the difference between coming in last or first.”

The UND team had won their Task Force challenge five years in a row, but last October lost to the University of Minnesota. However, in December they were chosen as one of two “wild card” teams, second place winners from the region giving them a chance to redeem themselves.

Plus the winning 9-person team will represent the 3rd Brigade in this year’s Sandhurst Competition, April 20-21, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

Make sure to follow the UND cadets while they compete at Sandhurst Competition, April 20-21, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. They will compete against other U.S. Army Cadet Command teams, select teams from West Point, the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School team, and international teams.
