SSC Interscholastic Meet Draws Students from 33 High Schools

Josh Hutton

Students from high schools across the state competed in Seminole State College’s 52nd annual Interscholastic Meet on March 26.

Nearly 500 students representing 33 high schools were included in this year’s results. Division I was composed of students from schools classified as 3A, 4A and 5A. Students from 2A and A class schools competed in Division II.

A trophy was awarded to the top school in each division based on the accumulation of points and medal placings. Preston High School won the Division I sweepstakes title, with Morris High School finishing as runner-up. In Division II, Agra High School earned the sweepstakes championship. New Lima High School was the runner-up, edging third-place Varnum High School by just two points.

Exams were administered in 15 academic subject areas. Art categories included sculpture, painting, drawing and best in show. The top five winners in each academic subject and the top three winners in each art category were recognized.
