Sports Night tests cadet physical fitness HURON PARK - The Huron Park Military Cadet Corps met last Thursday to participate in Sports Night, an annual fitness test. Captain Al Cottel said 47 cadets showed up to test their physical fit- ness and to have some fun with their friends. The exercises included one arm extension, 20 push-ups, 30 sit-ups and a one milt eight minute run and is considered to be the mini- mum standard; however, Cottel said many of them will find it chal- lenging. "I doubt half of them will pass," said Cottel but added they can work towards a passing performance if they don't succeed at first. Cottel said they hold Sports Night early in the cadet training season to give them an idea of how physically fit they are and how much they need to improve to pass by the end of the year. "Hopefully we can 'show them 'where they need to improve so they can work on it early," he said. Among their mandate to promote good citizenship and interest in the Canadian Armed Forces, physical fitness is a high ranking priority in the Cadet Corps. It has to be in or- der for a cadet to keep up with some of the more physically de- manding field exercises such as drill competitions, parading and rock climbing. "Keeping fit is very important to us because people often take it for granted. If they can walk and talk they think they're healthy," Cottel said.
