John Weida. “But together, running a relay … over rugged terrain, they accomplished their goal.” More than 1,250 freshmen cadets and 250 upper-class cadet cadre were divided into 12 relay sessions. The first three legs of the relay traveled across roads and trails that can accommodate large numbers... U.S. and friendly nation laws prohibit fully reproducing copyrighted material.
