National CompetitionOn April 27th John Branagan, Cam Juric, Ariana Kam and Edward Walrod traveled to DC to compete in the national tournament. The team had qualified for the national tournament earlier in the year at a regional event at Yale University. Their first time on the national stage the team did very well. They advanced to the Championship round in the afternoon and finished in the top third. Morning and afternoon rounds of the competition were held at various historic or cultural sites around the Capital. The team played their afternoon rounds at the Middle East Institute. In addition to the team competition (Bowl) all 4 students had also qualified for the individual competition (Bee) which was held on Sunday morning. Between competitions the team found time to meet with teams from across the country and see some of the sites that Washington DC has to offer rounding out a very full weekend. It is important to thank the High School PTO for sponsoring the team’s entrance fee to the Bowl competition and the people of Hingham who supported the team’s fundraising efforts. Without the support the trip would not have been possible.
