Ladies and gentlemen, your 2013 USMC Warrior Games team

2

The Marine Corps Wounded Warrior regiment has just announced the team that will represent the Marine Corps at the 2013 Warrior Games May 11-17 in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The 48 athletes, listed in full below, include 21 active-duty Marines from Wounded Warrior Battalion West, 21 USMC veterans, and six Marines from Wounded Warrior Battalion East. They competed for the top spots in the Corps at the week-long Marine Corps trials aboard Camp Pendleton at the beginning of March. It would seem that home field advantage worked out well for the West Coast Marines, but they will all play on the same team moving forward.

The wounded troops and vets will compete in the following eight sports:

  • Archery
  • Shooting
  • Swimming
  • Cycling
  • Track
  • Field
  • Wheelchair basketball
  • Sitting volleyball
All troops assigned to one of the Wounded Warrior Battalions train at least three to four hours a week in one of these athletic disciplines as part of the Warrior Athlete Reconditioning (WAR) program, so some of these men and women are really good.
And–no surprise here–the Marines play to win. At the 2012 Warrior Games, the Corps cleaned up with a winning tally of 89 medals to the Army’s 63. The other services had a combined total of 57.
