Results from UIL State Academic Meet

May 7-8, 2010

 

Courtne Anderson, a junior at SSHS, placed 6th in Computer Applications.  This is her second year to place in the top six at the State Meet.

 

In Accounting, Syndi Nguyen placed 6th individually. Her teammates were close behind her with Jace Orren in 8th place, Kyle Mathes in 11th place, and Mallorie Taylor in 14th place.  Their team placed 2nd in the state.  Jace and Mallorie will both graduate this year.  Syndi and Kyle will return to the team, so they’ll have a great foundation for next year.

 

 

 

 

The Spelling and Vocabulary Team, which consisted of Ashley Clegg, Silvia Gudino, Ivon Gonzalez, and Andrew Wallace, placed 4th.  Ashley's score was only 3 points below the 6th place individual with Silvia's score only 5 points behind Ashley's.  Andrew Wallace is the only senior on this team.  Ashley and Ivon are both freshmen and Silvia is a sophomore, so this team has a great UIL future ahead of them.
