By Eddie Kovsky Academy Spirit staff
The cadet flying team took sixth place at the National Intercollegiate Flying Association championships May 1 in Salina, Kansas. The Academy competed at the national level after becoming the Rocky Mountain regional champion. Twenty-nine teams competed in the event, which was hosted by the University of Kansas. The competition consisted of six flying events and five ground events related to aviation. At the end of the meet, each team is ranked based on the total number of points earned in each event. A national champion is crowned for highest points in three areas: flying events, ground champion for highest points in non-flying events, and safety trophy for best safety program. Weather was a factor this year, said team coach Bert Boyce.

The Academy team took eighth place overall, finishing the course in one hour, 56 minutes. Overall, there were 46 teams competing. The team must perform a series of military tasks while moving as rapidly as possible over a partly prescribed route about nine kilometers long. Each team must accomplish various mili- tary tasks at checkpoints along the way including an equipment check, boat movement, marksmanship, grenade throwing, river crossing, and a wall obstacle. The course must be completed in less than three hours. The competition scores are determined Cadet 1st Class Eric Davis holds by the squad’s performance on each military task and on the on to Cadet 1st total time required for the squad to negotiate the course.

Master Sgt. Dana Dvorak, 34th Training Squadron global engagement staff, and Master Sgt. John “Chip” Coleman, 34th TRS basic cadet training chief, provided support as the team’s noncommissioned officers in charge. “We created our own training plan in order to prepare for the competition,” said Cadet Eric Davis. “It included a lot of running, physical training, time on the rifle range, time in the zodiac boat, and time practicing for the other events. We selected the team during the first semester and practiced as a team starting in January and going through the competition.” The competition is sponsored by the United States Military Academy’s department of military instruction, with oversight by the British Exchange Officer. The Sandhurst competition was originally conceived in 1967 as an inter-company competition for West Point cadets. However, the competition has since expanded to include squads from all the military training academies, six select ROTC squads, and Britain’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Canada’s Royal Military College. In 1967, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst presented West Point with a sword. It was to be the prize for a competi- tion, the aim of which was to promote military excellence among the Corps as a whole. The original purpose statement proclaimed: “To provide the Corps of Cadets with a chal- lenging and rewarding regimental skills competition, which will enhance professional development and military excellence in selected soldier skills.” This began the first Sandhurst competition, which has been conducted annually ever since.
