Palm Bay Magnet High School is home of a Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps rifle team that is among the top in the nation. Of the 110 cadets enrolled in Palm Bay’s Marine Corps JROTC, only nine participate in the rifle team. And, only one of the nine cadets is male.
The team placed 15th overall out of 148 teams across the nation in this match, earning them a place in this years’ Service Championships. They also qualified and were invited to compete in this 2020 U.S. Army Junior National Air Rifle Competition at Ft. Benning, Georgia, earlier this year.
