Attendance, Scores, Ranking, and Such...

Yet another Summer Acadec Session passes successfully into history, and here's the general outcome:

ATTENDANCE: All teams had at least five in attendance (out of nine)--not bad. White team had six--go White Apocalypse! You get the attendance banner (which we still need to make).

SPIRIT BANNER: Mr. Weatherford informed me that there was a team math challenge, and Black team took the honors--so they get the Spirit Banner!

LIT1 TEST: ANTIGONE

Drum Roll Please...Ok--here are the scores (Ranked)

NAME TEAM SCORE
1. Melissa Hernandez (black) 923
2. Noemi Beltran (black) 846*
3. Victor Serrano (white) 846
4. Jonathan Vines (white) 846
5. Rocio Beltran (purple) 769
6. Richard Castro (purple) 692*
7. Cassie Hernandez (silver) 692
8. Laura Ponce (black) 692
9. Mireya Soto (black) 692
10. Daniel Briones (black) 615*
11. Briseida Herrera (white) 615
12. Victor Martinez (silver) 615
13. Elier Torres (white) 615
14. Tonya Arias (white) 538*
15. Iveth Villegas (purple) 538
16. Maria Martinez (purple) 462
17. Baldemar Rios (white) 385
18. Michael Gonzales (silver) 308
19. Ivonee Diaz (silver) 231*
20. Isaac Martinez (silver) 231
21. Mauricio Munoz (purple) 154

*Many of the scores were actually ties. Unfortunately, for the overall ranking, we then go alphabetically by last name. Don't worry, this only happens when there's only one test on the ranking.


TEAM SCORES: Only the top five scores for each team were counted, althought it's interesting to note that the outcome would have been exactly the same had it been only the top three, four, two, one, etc. This was a decisive victory...

1. Black Ravens 3,768
2. White Apocalypse 3,460
3. Purple Lynx 2,615
4. Silver Sages 2,077


Congrats to Melissa Hernandez for making Top Gun, Highest Overall Individual, AND leading the winning team! Go Ravens!

NEXT MEETING: is Wednesday, July 7th 12-3pm. We will test over Math--if you weren't at this past meeting, and you're not up on your trigonometry, you might want to talk to your team captain and ask very nicely if he/she can get to the meeting early enough to tutor you before the test.

Well--we are on the road, and I'm pleased. A veteran in the top slot, a couple of rookies closing in, both new team captains ahead of the two veteran team captains. Academic Decathlon, as always, is unpredictable and full of surprises. With work, anyone could be on top by the end of next session...see you there!

I hate being second!

 
At 4:44 PM, Jonathan said...

Yeah, I hate second place. It's the worst place to be in my opinion, because you're almost the best, but there's ONE person higher. Hate the feeling of being second best.

 
At 1:38 PM, Noemi said...

Yeah second best isn't the prettiest place to be, but it still is high up there. By the way I'M 2nd. lol. Just because of my name. I'm surprised I scored that since I didn't exactly study that much at all. I was too busy with chores. On the bright side I scored higher than my sister. Mr.Locke was right, she doesn't pose a threat....
