First Sergeant John Lemaster, a JROTC instructor at Pueblo West High School, asked the board on Sept. 23 for permission to take 14 cadets to the 2025 Raider Nationals at Fort Knox in Kentucky.
"I am, hopefully getting your approval tonight to take 14 cadets to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to compete in the 2025 Raider Nationals," Lemaster said. He said the Army is funding the trip and that the only out-of-pocket cost for students would be $50 for meals while traveling to and from Fort Knox. Lemaster described a mixed team this year (eight males and six females) and said last year the team placed 15th of 50.
Lemaster said the students will stay on Fort Knox in barracks and that he and his wife will serve as male and female chaperones; he also noted medical coverage will be available at events. The transcript records the request and questions from board members but does not include a recorded vote on the trip during the portion of the meeting provided.
