At the Dec. 6 competition, eighth grader and team captain Kiera Kwiatkowski, seventh grader Lily Yezdanian and sixth grader Joshua Chiaravalloti received honorable mentions.

Sixth grader Nick Brown, captain and seventh grader Thomas Gagliano and sixth grader Zoe Bevilacqua won first, second and third place respectively, supported by their alternates, seventh grader Alexa Whitworth and sixth grader Charlene Jbeili.
