School Latin Clubs attended Area F Latin Convention at Pflugerville. Our Intermediate certamen team composed of Frankie Chen, Olivia Hindera, Sam Fason, and Captain Jaron
Shrock advanced to finals and won third place. The Advanced certamen team (Scott Dollen,
Mason Osborn, Emma Richardson, and Captain Reid Swanger) and the Novice team (Connor
Blake, Nate Eakman, Captain Alex Lewis, and Lancer Sharp) both won first place and will represent the area at the state tournament. The Middle School certamen , composed of Asa
Buehler, Logan Giberson, McLean Ewbank, Henry Gaudin, Marco Quaroni, and Davison
Thompson missed playing in finals by 15 points.
As a school, St. Andrew's Upper School took first in the overall academic sweepstakes, calculated by assigning points for first, second, and third place finishes. St. Andrew’s beat every other school there in points amassed. The Middle School placed 5 th
in the overall sweepstakes for the middle school level. Five students were recognized for having the highest score at any level on their tests: Scott Dollen for Mythology and Roman Life, Mason Osborn for Reading
Comprehension Advanced Prose and Reading Comprehension Advanced Poetry, Ali Campion for Sight Recitation and Dramatic Interpretation Advanced Prose, Jade Ross for Mottoes, and
Reid Swanger for Roman History and Decathlon. As the winner of the high score on the
Decathlon, Reid has been named the Armadillo Classical Society’s Senior Scholar and has won a scholarship of $563, one dollar for every competitor in attendance. Additionally, Nate Eakman and Caroline Graves got the highest score on the Pentathlon of all students in their level (Latin I and Latin ½ A, respectively), a great accomplishment as every student at the convention takes that contest.
