Latin Students Prevail in Competition

The Novice (Latin 1/2 and I) team of Skye Cameron, Nick Gregory, Varun Gudibanda and Paul Reich finished third.

The Intermediate (Latin 2) team of Yashwina Canter, Grant Eidam, Matthew Hays, and Zach Stern finished first (by a narrow five point margin).

The Advanced (Latin 3+) team of Mark Arildsen and Sam Douglas finished first.

More significantly, the results of the academic tests on Thursday were also reported, and the USN team did...well...:

Finally, these, the various arts awards, and the certamen awards are totaled to determine which school is the overall sweepstakes winner, and that school is...

But close behind them at number two was University School of Nashville. Congratulations to this amazing, intelligent group.
