Yunhua Zhao - Silver Medal
Tom Fowlkes, Durand Martin, Richard Ouyang - Corona Laurea

Latin Convention
Thirty schools attended the Tennessee Junior Classical League State
Convention in Gatlinburg on April 17 and 18, 2015. I am pleased to
report that MUS won the overall competition for the 8th consecutive
year.
Some highlights:
All three MUS Certamen teams (Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced) won 1st place, a very rare TJCL Certamen sweep. (In fact, I'm not sure if it's ever been done before.)
Richard Ouyang, in winning the Level Four / Five Academic Heptathlon, automatically qualifies for a full scholarship to attend the NJCL convention this summer, a prize worth about $500.
Five MUS students finished in the overall top 10 in the individual points competition: Charlie Evans, Brooks Eikner, Yunhua Zhao, Richard Ouyang, and Jackson Moody. (Jackson tied for 1st with a student from Hume-Fogg.)
And as for the Chariot Race . . . well, there's always next year.

scores above the national average earns qualifies for one of the four awards.
Special recognition goes to the students who earned perfect
scores:
