And the Results are In

I personally got a Silver medal in Speech.  Spencer got a Silver in Interview.  And Emily got the highest prepared speech score in all of the Scholastic division.  Overall we placed twenty-fourth out of thirty-three teams.  That’s not incredibly bad for a rookie team.

It’s been sort of weird to go on two flights with a group other than my family.  Having Mr. Vawdrey here makes it even more different.  It’s not that he’s scary, but I haven’t known him outside of the classroom before now.

I don’t know, it’s a learning experience.

I didn’t fail as badly as I thought…

I did very well in SuperQuiz.  I answered three of my five questions correctly, and we were unofficially in about 21st out of 33-or-so teams, which is good for a first-year team at Nationals.  Today there is the awards ceremony.  If you want to watch that (I’ve heard the stream quality isn’t all that good, but you might still want it) it is here.

Oh yeah, there were over three thousand people watching the National SuperQuiz event, so I suppose it’s pretty important.  I’ll write down how we do if we can ans so I can post it as soon as we get a moment.  Either that will be at the airport before our flight, or during the layover.

SuperQuiz…

Just a reminder that if you want to watch the National USAD SuperQuiz event, the live-stream starts at 2:40 PM (MST), and can be watched here.  I don’t care if you watch, and I openly admit that history is not my favorite topic so there is a very high chance I will fail.  Badly.

However a lot of our team is good at history, and then there are all the other teams for your entertainment too.

Thanks for the continued support, I’ll post the Awards Banquet stream tomorrow, and then a typed-up copy of Lone Peak’s results tomorrow.

There’s a feeling of unrealized intensity in the air

Important!

If you would like to watch us compete in National Academic Decathlon, there are some livestreams you can watch of the SuperQuiz event and the Awards Ceremony.

These links are located on this page.

As we reach the guest hotel for the National competition in Academic Decathlon I can’t but help feeling somewhat epic. Read the rest of this entry »
