The students advanced to the national competition by competing against nearly 1,500 students at the state level in Indianapolis this week. In order to advance, students had to finish in the top two for teamed events, the top three for judged events and the top five for written or computer tests. There also is an “open contest” where students who place in the top 10 are recognized with the option of attending the national competition.
