CDO Academic Decathlon finishes 2nd in Arizona
Dear CDO,
CDO's Academic Decathlon team competed in the 29th Arizona State Academic Decathlon finals this weekend at ASU West Campus. Let by strong performances by Jake Rockland, Rebecca Gosla, and Maria Elena Pakulis, CDO finished a strong second, behind Mesa Red Mountain, and well ahead of third-place Mesa Mountain View. Forty schools participated. The highlight of the competition (for us) was an exciting victory in the Super Quiz Relay, which is the public portion of the competition. In the relay, we finished well ahead of second-place Boulder Creek High School and third-place Red Mountain. In the overall competition, however, Red Mountain dominated, finishing with 48,408 pts to CDO's 45,174 points.
CDO students won a total of 25 medals. Jake Rockland won a special trophy for having the top interview score out of all students competing. Maria Elena Pakulis finished 3rd in the state in her category (out of all ten events).
Our second place finish qualifies us to be a wild-card team at the national finals in Minneapolis on April 23 - 27. We're currently seeded 8th nationally.
The team members are: Jake Rockland, Annaliese Grant, Rebecca Gosla, Jakub Safar, Alexander Molina, Maria Elena Pakulis, Rose Booth, Powell Brumm, and Jason Trainor.
Thanks for all your support. These students do well because CDO teachers do so well preparing them to be good at everything.
