Fighting Mustangs prove they’re soldiers as much as students in grueling day challenge

On a gray Saturday morning, barely visible against the dry grass hills of San Luis Obispo, nine dark silhouettes in camouflage dot the ridge on the horizon. They march with rucksacks on their backs, weapons in their hands and blisters on their feet.
As they come closer, the sound of 18 boots crunching on the ground are accompanied by eight booming male voices and the slightly higher pitch of a woman’s voice. “Standing tall and looking good, you oughta be Hollywood …” the chorus marches on by.
Ten kilometers later, there’s no energy left for singing as the Fighting Mustangs come marching through the finish line to claim their trophy.
