Northrop eyes Norway as it works on Tritons for Australia
Northrop Grumman is bullish on the international appeal of its MQ-4C Triton, with Norway among the potential buyers of the massive maritime drone. Why it matters: Militaries want more smart machinery, and governments want more dirt on their neighbors. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) strapped with specialty sensors can satisfy both cravings. Driving the news: Reporters on June 13 got an intimate look at Tritons housed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, home to the Naval Air Systems Command. State of play: Northrop's delivered 20 Tritons to the U.S. Navy. It's sent another three to Australia, and is building a fourth right now in Mississippi. "In the last six months, we've been able to execute 45 flights per month across all three operational orbits," said Capt. Josh Guerre, the persistent maritime unmanned aircraft systems program manager. "You really are supporting concurrent operations, 24/7." Zoom in: Triton can fly around the clock at altitudes greater than 50,000 feet, hoovering up geospatial and signals intelligence. It can also pair with Boeing-made P-8 aircraft, which hunt submarines. Brad Champion, the Triton enterprise director at Northrop, described it as picking "up all the metal on the water." The latest: Both Northrop and General Atomics responded to Norway's ask for long-range drones. "They have a very vast ocean region that they're responsible for," Champion said. "Their economic exclusion zone is very large within the High North, and they are procuring P-8s, so they are set up very well to continue to follow the U.S. Navy doctrine of that manned-unmanned teaming." Champion expects a decision this year. He referred an ask for specifics to Oslo. The other side: C. Mark Brinkley, a spokesperson for General Atomics, told Axios the company has its MQ-9B SeaGuardian in the running.

Pacifica Christian rides ‘electric' second-set run to sweep Rancho Cucamonga
Pacifica Christian had to wait a while to assemble its full roster, so while it isn't seeded for its boys' volleyball playoff run, it might also be a relative unknown. The Tritons capitalized on a chance to show what they were capable of Saturday in front of their home crowd. Senior outside hitter Hudson Reynolds had 26 kills to lead Pacifica Christian to a 25-21, 26-24, 25-21 sweep of third-seeded Rancho Cucamonga in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division 6 playoffs. Pacifica Christian's Ryan Pearson (21) spikes the ball against Rancho Cucamonga's Ethan Lee (14). Facing three set points in the second game, the Tritons received four kills in a span of five points from Reynolds during the momentum-shifting run. Junior middle blocker Grayson Baker's kill off an overpass by the Cougars evened the score at 24-24. Reynolds landed the next two kills and stalked back to his team's bench, shouting in celebration all the way. 'I've been very competitive growing up,' Reynolds said of letting his emotions show on the court. 'My family, we're very competitive, so winning means a lot to me. Going out there, I know how much energy shifts can mean for a game, like a turnaround. I know the bench was there today, helped us get a lot of energy. … The more energy I bring to the table, the better we seem to play, so that's why I always try to bring as much energy as possible.' Pacifica Christian (14-15) advanced to the quarterfinals, and it was scheduled to play at Tri-Valley League runner-up Santa Barbara Laguna Blanca (12-7) on Wednesday evening. The result had not been reported as of The Pilot's print deadline. Pacifica Christian's Joaquin Rigdon (35) reaches to keep the ball in play against Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday. Regarding the latter stages of the second set, Pacifica Christian coach Cory Swartzbaugh described the five-point run as 'electric.' 'Being down 24-21 right there and having people step up and make plays and kind of grow into roles that they've been showing flashes of, that's been kind of a defining moment for our team recently because we didn't have our full roster for half, two-thirds of the season,' Swartzbaugh said. 'We're still building that chemistry. We're still figuring out whose value is where, what we can grow into, and how we can mold and shape and puzzle together. It really feels like we're catching steam and momentum at the perfect time.' Junior setter Joaquin Rigdon had 36 assists, two service aces and two kills. Rigdon was at the service line during the key rally late in the second set, and he also connected well with Reynolds, finding him on top of the net and in the back row when the Tritons had to have a point. Pacifica Christian's Jack Ferrell (26) blocks the ball against Rancho Cucamonga in a CIF Division 6 playoff game on Saturday. There's room for improvement, Swartzbaugh said, especially with passing. 'That serve-receive performance was the dark side of the moon compared to last week,' Swartzbaugh said. 'Last week, we were locked in. We were in system out of every single serve, and we were able to run anything we wanted. This match, it was brutal. It was very tough seeing them let nervousness and just general emotions, it seemed like, kind of phase them in passing. It obviously wasn't too bad of a detriment. We still won, but it was a big sore spot.' Reynolds and Rigdon both played on the boys' basketball team, too, which advanced to the CIF Division 2AA final in the winter. Pacifica Christian's Hudson Reynolds (10) celebrates with Jedidiah Darrow (23), Ryan Pearson (21) and Atticus Graham (11). Junior opposite Ryan Pearson had six kills, two aces and a solo block for Pacifica Christian. Junior outside hitter Atticus Graham had four kills and two aces, and Baker finished with six kills. Freshman libero Jedidiah Darrow added seven digs. Senior outside hitter Ethan Lee had 11 kills and three block assists for Rancho Cucamonga (19-14), which was an at-large qualifier from the Baseline League. Sophomore middle blocker Evan Lee had four total blocks. The Pacifica Christian boys' volleyball team celebrates after winning a set against Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday. Also in the CIF Southern Section boys' volleyball playoffs: Huntington Beach 3, Redondo Union 0: Sophomore outside hitter Logan Hutnick's 18 kills paced the Oilers in a 25-23, 25-23, 25-19 win at home on Tuesday in the second of three pool-play matches in the Division 1 playoffs. Junior outside hitter Colin Choi had 15 kills, and junior opposite Ben Arguello added 11 kills for second-seeded Huntington Beach (33-3), which plays host to Los Angeles Loyola (27-5) on Friday at 6 p.m. Newport Harbor (24-11) was scheduled to play at Loyola on Wednesday, each side looking to notch its first win of the postseason. Corona del Mar 3, Beckman 1: Junior outside hitter Ben Brown had 18 kills and two aces to lead the host Sea Kings to a 26-24, 25-17, 17-25, 25-17 win on Tuesday in the Division 1 playoffs. Corona del Mar (23-5) plays at top-seeded Manhattan Beach Mira Costa (30-2) on Friday at 6:30 p.m. with a spot in the CIF championship match on the line. Junior opposite Brady Gant and sophomore middle blocker Daniel Booker each had 10 kills for CdM. Junior outside hitter Hunter Hannemann added nine kills, junior setter Drake Foley had 48 assists, and senior libero Brogan Glenn contributed 14 digs. Sage Hill 3, Pasadena Poly 0: The visiting Lightning advanced to the Division 4 quarterfinals with Saturday's win. Sage Hill (16-11), the reigning Division 5 champion, has not dropped a set in its first two playoff matches. The Lightning were scheduled to travel to second-seeded Simi Valley Royal (20-7) on Wednesday.

Triton Cheer makes state history with first All-Girls National Championship
FORT DODGE, Iowa — Triton Cheer of Iowa Central Community College made history after winning the All-Girls National Championship for the first time in the state of Iowa. 'Normally, I just see it on TV, I never thought that I would be in that position, so being in that position, I was like this doesn't even feel real,' said rookie flyer Ka'Maiya Hunt. 'I definitely went to sleep with my medal on.' While Triton Cheer is no stranger to medals and national titles, this is the first time it has won a national title in the All-Girl Division. 'That was one of my goals when I joined the all-girls team. I want to be the first all-girl team to win,' said third-year back spot and Fort Dodge native Laila Taylor. Every year, the Tritons have two co-ed teams, and occasionally there's an all-girl team. Head Cheerleading Coach Amanda Murphy said their last all-girls team was in 2023. That team ended their season as runners-up in the national championship, being edged out by the competition by just tenths of a point. As a junior college, athletes only have up to three years of eligibility. This year, many third-year athletes returned to fight for the national championship one last time. When Coach Murphy saw the strong female talent on her roster, she got permission from the college to make a third team this year. 'These are the moments you just want to stay in forever': Clark grateful for Carver return While managing three teams came with its challenges, the coaching staff said the all-girl team made it easier. 'When you think of a dream team to coach, that was this all-girl team. They showed up every day to practice, ready to practice, they called their own practices,' said Coach Murphy. However, it wasn't always easy. Three weeks before the NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida, three Triton cheerleaders were involved in a head-on car accident while traveling to an all-star cheerleading competition in Omaha. All three athletes escaped with just minor injuries, but one of the athletes broke her arm and she was on the all-girl team. Coach Murphy said they had to rework their entire routine. 'Every great time has adversity that they have to overcome,' said the 19-year head coach. 'Nothing is ever given to you. You have to earn it.' And that's exactly what the Tritons did, rep after rep. When they arrived at Daytona for the two-day competition, the team called their own 8 a.m. practice, surprising even the coaches with their dedication to perfecting the routine. From setbacks to snapbacks, the squad hit their stunts when it mattered the most and beat their competition by over two points, which is almost unheard of in a sport that comes down to the tenths and hundredths of a point. '[Hearing our names called for first] was the best feeling in the world. Nothing can replace that feeling of just being able to see my teammates, see my coaches, everybody's just so proud of each other,' said third-year back spot Molly Tomash, who unexpectedly came back to cheer this season for the redemption arc. 'I cried,' said Taylor. 'It felt like relief. All the hard work paid off, like all the practices, the late nights, the arguments, the tears, the laughter, all of the memories paid off.' There's a tradition in cheerleading where winners at the NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida, celebrate in the ocean. And that's exactly what the Tritons' all-girls team did alongside one of the Tritons' co-ed teams, which also won first place in their division. Experience the 'dark side of the bloom' when corpse flower named Stink Floyd blooms at Reiman Gardens Despite many of the athletes graduating this year and officially retiring from cheer, the rookies say this isn't the end for the all-girls team. 'It definitely puts a little pressure on next season just because now we have an expectation to live up to,' said Hunt. 'I just know that if I need anything or if the team needs anything, we can always go back to [the alumni] and they can help us out.' As for Triton Cheer, Coach Murphy said this win will help the program. 'Iowa Central has always been known, I feel like, as a co-ed program, so we're trying to make it known that we're not just a co-ed program. We have a very good all-girl team,' she said.
