Your right, all around athletes will probably do well with the new APFT.
You've got to love the Gymnasts and the Water Polo players, they just kill the current APFT. My son is the Tennis player, still not sure how that translates to the high APFT, average has always been around 330 plus, although he does take full advantage of the Rec on a daily basis, and has a killer overhand shot.
Both collegiate athletes are female, very impressive, I bet you keep the boys on their toes.
I don't know if this is just a recent development but it seems that a lot of programs do not have a large number of current collegiate athletes among the ranks. It appears odd that ROTC pushes the student-athlete-leader model extremely hard, yet there are not many D1 (or even D2/3/NAIA) athletes within the program. My program currently has none (over 100 cadets from 3 schools) and in past years we maybe had one in track and a practice squad football player. I wonder if its time commitment or ROTC just simply doesn't appeal to many college bound athletes.
Jcleepe- My batt is the same way, our monthly intramurals remind me of the awkward PE moment in high school when you toss a perfect pass to a wide open receiver and they drop it....every time. Very very few athletes. We also have ROTC teams that compete in school wide intramurals and its usually the same 2-3 guys who carry every team. Everyone else is well...ummm..ya.
I am also excited to see the new APFT!
