Toa Drones II from Tafuna High School was the overall champions at the Inaugural Army JROTC National Drone Championship held at Fort Benning, Georgia March 7-8.
Team Captain Felise Ioka was quoted by the US Army news website, “We traveled here all the way from American Samoa, so we are proud that we got to represent our island with a win.
“We made it and finally won the all-around championship. Thank you all for your love and support!”
The competition took place over two days as cadets competed in teamwork missions, autonomous flight skills missions, and piloting skills missions.
Each mission earned the team points that were combined to calculate the team’s overall scores for the championship.
