Tampa, Fl. (May 2, 2023) – Hillsborough County Schools is proud to announce that several of its JROTC students from Steinbrenner High School are returning to Florida as National Champions in the JROTC VEX Robotics National Championship. The students competed against 130 teams from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Space Command JROTC Programs in Dallas, TX last week.
Teams were placed in two divisions to play in ten qualification rounds before facing off for the National title. The teams were randomly selected as partners and opponents, playing each round until teams earned their rankings. Steinbrenner’s team members partnered with other teams from Hawaii and Indiana and played a best of three titles match. In the end, the Steinbrenner Warriors earned the Divisional Championship and were the 2023 National Champions.
This was the first time in this competition that the highest award has been won by a team in Florida. All members of the team are eligible for scholarships through the Robot Event Competition Foundation (RECF).
If your media outlet is interested in interviewing any of the students involved, and their teacher, please email Jennifer Holton at Jennifer.Holton@hcps.net.
