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.
