Cadet highlighted the colors at the Stanford game
Cadet Victoria Subido traveled with the Hokies to receive the flags at Saturday’s football game at Stanford.
The passing of the flags during the pre-game ceremonies was a continuation of the proud partnership between the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and Virginia Tech football to highlight the colors at every football game.
During games, three football players, chosen because of their performance in the last game or at practice, carry the American flag, the state flag, and the team’s spirit flag and lead the team onto the field. They deliver the flags to cadets at the south end of the field.
The cadets, also selected based on their performance in the corps, render honors to the flags and carry them off the field. For home games, three first-year cadets are selected, and one or two upper-class cadets travel with the team and receive the flags at away games.
Subido, from Oceanside, California, is a junior in Charlie Company majoring in biological sciences in the College of Science. A member of Army ROTC, Subido was chosen as the best cadre in the regiment for her exceptional performance teaching and inspiring first-year cadets during New Cadet Week. She set the standard of professionalism and leadership within her company and amongst the cadre staff while maintaining a positive and constructive environment during a rigorous week of training.
