“Roosevelt High School always leads the way with this event during the fall break for Hawaii schools. They run a top-notch physical challenge, and this will be my last one since I graduate this year,”.

“It was fun and challenging. I got to bond a lot with my team that I competed with. Overall it was a great experience, and I think everyone should compete in this event at least once.”
