Congratulations to Squadron 302, winners of the 2007 Ranger Team Competition. The competition was extremely close this year, and all teams did exceptionally well. Squadrons 101, 811 and 714 also competed, placing within a margin of only a few percent difference in their scores.
1st Lt Bonner and the staff did a great job of planning the events, making some changes to make the competition comprehensive in all aspects of search and rescue. A team of some of Hawk Mountain's most experienced Rangers, consisting of Maj Amy Fierro, Lt Col Jeff Riley, Capt Mark Kleibscheidel, 1st Lt Elizabeth Wirth, Lt Col Joe Abegg, Maj Bryan Watson, and Lt Col Laurie Watson traveled to Canada to compete in an international Search and Rescue competition and to attend a conference afterward. They performed extremely well in all categories of the competition. See the CAP Volunteer Magazine for the complete article http://cap.gov/documents/JanFeb_2008_CAP_Volunteer_lores2.pdf
