Running from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning, Hargrave held its annual Eye of the Tiger Challenge.
“This multi-skilled, 20-hour long event is designed to test each Cadet’s teamwork ability, physical and mental endurance, problem-solving skills, and Sisu (Norwegian for “grit”). It is not designed for every Cadet to pass, but for every Cadet to attempt.” – LTC Nick Morris, Commandant
