The 2017 Best Sapper Competition took 48 teams across more than 50 miles in 50 hours, April 25 through 27.

Luke Groom and Staff Sgt. Carlos Jimenez, representing the 307th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, emerged victorious in the grueling competition April 27.
