ROTC event
Nicholas Wentling, Exeter Township, was captain of the University of Alabama ROTC Ranger Challenge Team that finished second among 40 schools in the first phase of competition at the Ranger Challenge at Fort Moore, Ga., in September.
Alabama first in the plank event for holding the longest plank position and 6-mile ruck, which consisted of running 6 miles wearing a 40-pound rucksack and 11-pound vest. Wentling said those were the toughest events.
“We trained the plank six days a week, which consisted of holding a plank for four to five minutes, as well as rucking 6-8 miles once a week around campus,” Wentling said in the university’s announcement of the result. “This prepared us very well and set us up for success to take second place overall.”
Additional rigorous physical fitness assessments included a maximum rep deadlift, 2-mile run, push-ups and weighted shuttle run.
Wentling received recognition from Major General Curtis Buzzard, commander of Fort Moore.
The Alabama team advanced to the regional finals that will be held at Fort Moore in January.
