Robotic Teams Compete at Region 7 Meet

On May 19th, the Junior High and Elementary GT students attended the Region 7 Robotics competition.  The Elementary teams were sponsored by Mrs. Blavier and the Junior High teams were sponsored by Mrs. Beall.  Elementary took 3 teams and Junior High took 2 teams.  Both campuses performed very well at the competition.  There was 101 teams total.  The highest scoring elementary team came in eleventh with a tie between tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. That team was the Shooting Stars which consisted of Karina Moody and Liam Urwiller.  The other two elementary teams came in 43rd and 79th.  The highest scoring Junior High team came in thirteenth.  That team was the Super Nerds which consisted John Caldwell, Mikalia White, Nathan Wigington and Olivia Wynn.  The other Junior High team came in 77th.  It was a great experience for both groups.  The students are looking forward to competing again next year.
