Eight students finished with top honors. Kathryn Strimbu led the way with six medals. Josh Grady earned five. Beth Azcona and Caden Hicks finished with four, while Madison Grcevich (two), Elizabeth Cooley (one), Adan Diaz (one), and Anniya Delaney (one) all placed in several categories.

“I'm tremendously proud of everything that Andrean's Academic Decathlon team has accomplished this year,” Strimbu said. “Our recent success at the state competition represents about nine months of studying and preparation, and even though we didn't win state, I think our hard work was reflected in the competition's results.”
