The Navy Nationals comprise a series of nine events \u2014 five drill, three athletic and one academic \u2014 where the cumulative scores are added to determine the overall national champion. Nease, which won the Area-12 Drill Championship in March in Lee County, Ga., represented NJROTC Area-12, which covers the 60 NJROTC programs across Northern Florida and the state of Georgia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nease earned first place in two events \u2014 the 16 x100 Relay and Unarmed Basic Drill. The team garnered six additional trophies, including third place in Overall Athletics, Armed Basic Drill, Armed Exhibition Drill and Push Ups. Two cadets earned individual medals for athletics: Emmelie Neff finished fourth in sit ups with 320 and Amber Vidler finished sixth in push ups with 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese young men and women have persevered since August, practicing at 7:30 a.m.,\u201d said senior naval science instructor Captain Scott LaRochelle. \u201cFinishing third in the nation validated their commitment to excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nease has qualified and competed at the Navy Nationals every year since 2015 (last year\u2019s championships were canceled, but the team qualified), and never finished higher than sixth place.
