Nearly 300 cadets at the U.S. Military Academy will compete here against the United Kingdom's Royal Military Academy, Canada's Royal Military College and various ROTC units during the 34 th annual Sandhurst competition scheduled for Saturday, April 29 from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. West Point teams are composed of eight men and one woman from each of the 32 companies. The competition is a challenging course which tests both individual and team abilities in marksmanship, rappelling, river crossing, obstacle scaling and radio communications. Throughout the competition, the teams will accumulate points at each of the eight sites based on their skills. The teams have the opportunity to earn up to 1000 points throughout the course. From then on, an annual event has been held to do just that.
Spectators are welcome to attend the event.
