Yesterday we finished in second place at the State Tournament held at Emory University, just 7 points behind rival Brookwood High School, nine-time state champion (as of this year), and 33 points ahead of the third place team Walton. We medaled (top 4) in 16 events to Brookwood's 17 (out of 23 total events), and finished first in 6 to their 4.
Finishing in the top two qualifies us for the 2017 National Tournament, held at Wright State University on May 19th-20th, where we hope to top our team's record 15th place finish, set last year in only our second year of qualifying. Medals were awarded to the 1st–4th place teams in each event, and ribbons to the 5th–10th place teams. Our team's medals and ribbons are listed below.
