Academic Decathlon Does Well At Regional

Nine Sinton High School Decathletes and 2 alternates headed to San Antonio to compete in the small school Regional Decathlon meet in San Antonio.  The meet was held at O'Connor High School.  The students competed in 3 divisions - Varsity, Honors and Scholastic.  Our team did well - but the computers won.  Due to many and massive computer problems, our team headed home without learning of the results of their hard work.

The team came home with 11 medals.
