UIL Academics Teams Prepare For Regional Meet
The UIL Academics regional qualifiers pose together with their district medals.
April 10, 2019
This weekend many of the UIL academic teams are competing in Corpus Christi at the regional meet. All students and/or teams who placed 1, 2 or 3 at the district meet will compete April 13.
Journalism, Computer Science, Computer Applications, Current Issues, Literary Criticism, Ready Writing and Science teams will compete.
The Current Events, Literary Criticism and Science teams earned wildcard distinctions, meaning they each had the second highest team score in the region, and therefore qualified for regionals.
“I am really excited to compete this weekend,” junior Jessica Ball said. “I love writing and now I get to represent LHS in Corpus Christi. My most memorable meet this year was in Burnet. My printer wasn’t working so I had to hand write my story! I still placed second even with the mishap. Hopefully everything will work out at regionals and I’ll place well.”
At regionals, in order for students to advance to the state meet in May, individuals will need to place top three or be a top team.
“I am a bit nervous for this weekend,” freshman Michael Neary said. “As a freshman, it can be kind of nerve racking competing. I have a lot of time between now and senior year. Hopefully this is the first of many regional competitions for me.”
