Hedley High School sent teams to the West Texas High Invitational Academic Meet in Stinnett and gave a great showing with four of the six teams winning second place.
Stephen Howard was second overall in Number Sense, and the team of Howard, Lacey Wallendorff, and Travis Hrbacek came in fifth out of twelve schools.
The Calculator Applications team of Treva Rowland, Brittney Bennett, and Ruth Anne Howard performed very well placing second. Rowland was the overall second place individual, and Bennett was the overall third place individual.
The Current Events team was paced by Ben Shaw’s seventh place showing and Kyra Stevens’ eighth place showing.
The Science and Math teams also came in second with Lacey Wallendorff and Stephen Howard placing third and fifth respectively in each contest. Howard and Wallendorff were also the top two chemistry students in the science contest.
The showing was commendable considering Hedley was one of only three 1A schools in the contest which included much larger schools like Caprock, Pampa, Dumas, Dalhart, Perryton, Spearman, Canadian, and West Texas High.
The math and science teams will be competing this weekend at the Coronado Invitational in Lubbock.
