16th Annual Wyoming Academic Challenge at Sheridan College Saturday
SC scholarships Awarded to top team
Roughly 100 high school students from throughout the state will be pitted against each other during the sixteenth annual Wyoming Academic Challenge, which will be held from noon to 5:30 p.m. in the Whitney Building Presentation Hall (CTEL) at Sheridan College on Saturday.
Sheridan College scholarships are awarded to the overall top team, along with plaques and medals. Awards are also presented to the second and third place teams, the top small school, and to the top individual.
“These students are amazing – the depth of their knowledge on a variety of subjects is impressive,” Zane Garstad, the Director Enrollment Services said of the answer-and-question-style trivia competition. “The Academic Challenge is always enjoyable to watch.”
The Sheridan event is one of six competitions held throughout the state from October to April.
The top 18 Wyoming Academic Challenge teams, which include 12 large schools and six small schools, will qualify for the state finals held in April in Casper.
The Academic Challenge is free to the public.
