The Army held their annual ten-mile race in Washington D.C. this weekend. After losing to a team from Brazil for the last three years, a team made up of members of the U.S. Army emerged as champions. From the U.S. Army MWR:
↵↵↵The All-Army WCAP team dashed away with the international Army trophy after defeating the three-time reigning champions from Rio de Janeiro.
↵“We beat the Brazilians,” Spc. Robert Cheseret said moments after leading the elite U.S. squad of four men by finishing third with a time of 48 minutes, 20 seconds ... “Everybody worked hard to make sure we won it, and we did it.”
