CyberPatriot XI National Finals

Setting the precedence in the corps, the CyberPatriot team made history by winning first place in CyberPatriot All Service Division National Competition for the first time ever in CA-935th history.

Consisting of seniors c/Colonel Valerie Ho, c/2nd Lt Alex Roh, c/Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Nguyen, c/Captain Shane Donahue, and c/Major Evan Dicker, the competing lineup spent their last CyberPatriot competition accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sheldon during the week of April 7 to April 10 in Baltimore, Maryland. When the cadets were not in competition mode, the cadets, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Sheldon, spent their free time in Baltimore by exploring the city's streets and shops.

Throughout the year, the cadets on the CyberPatriot team worked hard and competed against five-thousand other schools to reach the national competition. Competing under the team name, Team Byte Sized Falcons, these senior cadets slowly but surely were able to narrow down the competition at the national competition and emerge at the very top. Not only were the cadets able to bring home the first place trophy, each member of the competing lineup received a two-thousand dollar scholarship. Team Byte Sized Falcons were also the AT&T Mobile Device Component Winner, and also had the chance to meet and greet several high-ranking officials.

A huge congratulations to Team Byte Sized Falcons as well as the CyberPatriot team and good luck to the seniors in the next chapters of their lives!
