JLAB team wins spirit award at Nationals Waynesville's JLAB (JROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl) Academic Team received the Col. Carlos R. Glover “Mega Hooah” Espirit de Corps Award at the JLAB National Championship on June 21-25, 2024, in Washington, D.C. “While the team did not win, they were in the final 32 of over 1,700 high school teams, and did very well,” said Col. (Ret.) Charles Williams, senior Army instructor of Waynesville JROTC. “They also earned the award for being the most motivated and spirited team!” This was the first Waynesville JLAB team to compete in Nationals. “Now that we have made it to Level 3, we can better prepare our future teams for Nationals,” Williams said. “In addition to the general SAT/ACT and AP class questions, the teams had to answer math questions. Keep in mind that the questions are given verbally and each team has just 10 seconds to answer.” The subjects, along with an estimated percentage of questions in each subject area, are as follows: - English (20-25%) - science and mathematics (25-30%) - social studies (35-40%) - fine arts (5%) - miscellaneous (5%) The team competing at Nationals consisted of Joseph Mendiola, Marissa Esquivel, Luke Pollman and Kaden Crone. Earning their way from Level 2 to Level 3 were team members Mendiola, Esquivel, Nathaniel Copeland and Julian Vassallo. “Cadets Copeland and Vassallo are at Army Basic Combat Training, so Pollman and Crone stepped in to save the day,” Williams said.
