LLCC hosted the regional Academic Challenge yesterday

Thank you to everyone who assisted in a successful Academic Challenge yesterday.

We hosted nearly 200 area high school students who competed as individuals and as teams (of up to 14 students) testing in their choice of two subjects — biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering graphics, English, mathematics and physics.

Taylor Henrikson from Athens won a $30 gift card to the LLCC Bookstore. Hugh Beeler from Pleasant Plains and Vince Weller from Rochester both won $250 LLCC scholarships.

Those teams advancing to sectional competition include: Division 300 (high schools with 300 students or less) – Pawnee and Nokomis; Division 700 (high schools with 301-700 students) – Pleasant Plains and Athens; and Division 1500 (high schools with 701-1,500 students) – Glenwood and Rochester. Individuals that placed first or second in any division, but whose team did not advance, are eligible to participate in the sectional competition (see individual rankings below). Teams and individuals that score high enough at the sectional competition will advance to the state finals, which will be held April 8-11 at Eastern Illinois University.
