Congratulations to these Middle Schoolers for their hard work and efforts at the tournament:
For the first time, USN also sent a group of 4th-grade students to the competition.

Maya Gupta ’33, Aaron Wilson ’33, and Jack Semler ’33 tied for 3rd place, while Everett Huffman ’33 tied for 1st out of about 70 4th graders from around the area.
