LO took 1st place overall in sweepstakes at our district competition, re-establishing the standard of excellence set in 2012 and 2011 (and, supposedly, the 3-4 consecutive years before that). Because this was the district competition, winners advance to compete in OSAA’s state championships in April. (Key: *=qualified to state.)
