The Riderettes have made through yet another long hard year of competetive competitions.
Each competitions got the team closer to their goal of going to Nationals.
“The team had to train hard everyday and perform to the best of their ability,” said First Class Lionel Brown.
The Riderettes have made it to Nationals for over 18 years. They started going in 1989.
“I’m proud to be the commander and take the team this far because we accomplished a goal the team had for one another,” said Cadet Captain Phylisha Estrada.
Nationals will be April 11 -12.
“Being on the team has helped shaped me into a better person by making me outgoing,” said Cadet Private Taylor Vernoy.
The San Juan Guard has also been going to Nationals since 1989.
“It feels amazing,expected to be at the top, but not first at the Fifth Brigade Competition,” said senior Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Basile.
Both teams had a proud experience to take the teams to competitions and place because it was a common goal to achieve together.
“Being a part of the the San Juan Guard team has absolutely made me a better person by figuring that you’re important or a part of something, almost like a a very specific tool to get the specific job done,” said senior Cadet First Lieutenant Steven Guerrero.
