FRANKFORT, IL — Cadets from the Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way Central/West AFJROTC Academic Bowl teams competed at the championships in Washington, DC last week, the district said in a release.

Only 280 cadets were finalists from over 125,000 competitors to make it to the JROTC leadership and academic bowl nationals, the District said.

Both teams did well in the competition, with the Lincoln-Way Central/West team taking fourth place in the Air Force division, according to the District.
