Santa Fe Dam 2026 NJROTC Area 21 Championships

Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, Irwindale

Sunday, February 1, 2026

Santa Fe Dam was bumpin’ on Sunday! We had over 250 participants, and the event was both an NRE and the Area 21 JROTC Championships. The energy (and rivalry) of the youth teams added a lot of spirit to the day. The weather was great; the cactus was not. But if you navigated well, you didn’t have to tangle with the cactus much (ask me how I know…).

Congratulations to the Teams from Troy and Patrick Henry for advancing to Nationals! They will also be joined in Florida by Sarah Krueger (Coronado) and Logan Quintana (Chaparral), competing individually.

More congratulations to the youth individual winners:

Frosh Female: Aimee Halim, Troy

Frosh Male: Luya Shen, Troy

JV Female: Angelina Legg, Point Loma

JV Male: Aarush Pathak, Troy

Varsity Female: Katherine Jung, Troy

Varsity Male: Kaileo Truong, Troy

Additionally, Clare made sure the non-JROTC participants also had some awards...Cadbury Chocolate bars! (Follow up with Clare for your chocolate if you had to skip out early.)

NRE/Not JROTC Female Winners: Olga Urbanovskaia won Green, Ann Bergstrom won Brown, Sofia Somova won Orange, Elizandra Ruiz-Piseno won Yellow, and Sarah Sierra won White.

NRE/Not JROTC Male Winners: Michael Noblett won Blue, Alexander Kiperman won Red, Vladislav Urbanovskiy won Green, Mike Chin won Brown, Adam Reilly won Orange, and Marshall Olmos won Yellow.
