Earlier this month cadets from the Chapel Hill Composite Squadron of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) won first place in the Mid-East Region Cadet Color Guard Competition. The cadets won the state competition in Asheville in March to earn a spot in the regional competition. The competition includes drill, academic and physical fitness events. Cadets are, left to right, Johnny Rubow, Garrett Dahms, Daniel Kong and Brendan Reilly. The regional victory means the cadets will represent the Mid-East Region at the National CAP Cadet Competition to be held in Dayton, Ohio, in June.
