Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University ROTC Color Guard teams are a common sight at the University’s athletic events, with the well-disciplined cadets presenting the American and Tennessee State flags before the games.
But during an APSU women’s basketball game on November 14th, fans noticed something different—all four cadets on the team were women.
The team’s members were Nicole Eldridge, of Clarksville; Mary Rush, of Phoenix, Arizona; Lethi Nickel of Sacramento, California; and Jennifer Card, of Clarksville.
All four cadets are part of an ROTC program that is considered one of the best programs in the nation.
