The official Sandhurst Military Skills Competition 2010 results came in late last night.

The top ROTC team was the University of Louisville, which finished seventh overall, with an official time of 6:24:15.

The final ROTC results were:

1. University of Louisville – seventh overall – 6:24:15
2. University of Washington – 12th overall – 6:52:00
3. George Mason University – 14th overall – 6:58:35
4. Virginia Tech – 24th overall – 7:44:00
5. Brigham Young University – 29th overall – 8:40:20
6. Rutgers University – 35th overall – 11:11:15
7. University North Dakota – N/A (finished with only eight members) – 7:02:35
8. University Central Florida – medical retire due to team member injury

Additional awards: BYU placed first in the land navigation portion of the competition; George Mason won a commander’s coin for finishing the commandant’s challenge the fastest overall, with a time of three minutes.

A note on the score times: Score times are given as an overall score. Overall times were formulated by taking the overall time a team took to physically complete the course, then adding any time penalties it was assessed at various skills stations scattered along the course. For instance, if a team finished the course in six hours, but were assessed time penalties at the various stations of 45 minutes, the team’s overall time would be 6:45:00.
