CLARKSVILLE, TN − After their recent appearance at the Fort Knox, Kentucky Raider Nationals Championship, the Elite Black Knights Battalion Raider Team was set to make a remarkable appearance in one of their final but most important competitions, the All-Service Raider Nationals, which took place in Molena, Georgia, from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
This competition would test not only the physical fitness of the cadets but also the mental willpower and skills that have been honed from months of endless training set by their instructor, Sgt. Maj. (retired) Aaron Keener. Overcoming the countless challenges and facing over 100-plus teams, the Raider Team placed 5th within the All-Service Raider Nationals.
Though the Raider season has come to an end for members of the Elite Black Knight Raider Team, these cadets will continue to train their bodies, minds, and skills for next year’s national competition in hopes of earning first place as Raider National Champions.
