The BV team coached by Genevieve Aymeric and Mike Erickson will advance to the state competition in downtown Sacramento March 13 – 16.

Mira Loma High’s team coached by Matt Muratore placed 10th and San Juan High School’s team coached by Mario Galvan placed 22nd.
Modeling their efforts after the Olympic Decathlon, more than 300 local students competed for awards in 10 demanding academic events: Mathematics, Art, Music, Language/Literature, Economics, Science, Essay, Speech, Interview and Super Quiz. Contestants represented 22 schools in Sacramento County. Two local high schools will advance to state finals.
