	Hand-Off!
	Troops & Trihawks Triathlon, September 17, 2006 at the Coralville Dam. The event consisted of a 500 yard lake swim, a 15-mile bike race, and a 3.1 mile run. Iowa Army ROTC Cadets competed with over 400 other registrants and volunteered their labor to support the execution of this outstanding event. The event featured 3 Cadet Relay Teams and 3 Individual Cadet Competitors. Congratulations to CDTs Lindsay Larson, Laura Walker, and Ron Mortenson for their individual efforts!

ROTC Offers Many Opportunities to Excel

In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.

Ranger Challenge

The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises. Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.

Pershing Rifles

The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of leadership, military bearing and discipline.

Riverfest

Each April, the University of Iowa, Army ROTC, and the surrounding community celebrate the arrival of Spring with a weekend of festivities on the Iowa River. Rock-climbing walls and zodiac-boat races are a part of Army ROTC’s contribution to the fun.

Commissioning

The final capstone event of any Cadet’s training in Army ROTC is his or her commissioning ceremony. The University of Iowa and Coe College enjoy the privilege and honor of pinning on the gold bars of 2nd Lieutenants every December and May.
