GMS academic teams capture two state titles

Tuesday, April 30, 2019

Greencastle Middle School has earned two state championships and a pair of state runner-up spots in the recent 2019 Junior Super Bowl.

GMS teams captured state titles in math and science, while earning runner-up in both English and interdisciplinary competition.

Putnam County earned another runner-up spot with North Putnam Middle School taking second to GMS in the science competition.

Social studies was the only discipline in which a Putnam County school did not earn the first- or second-place spot.

South Putnam and Cloverdale, meanwhile, each earned a top-10 ranking with South Putnam finishing seventh in math competition and Cloverdale taking eighth in science.

The Junior Super Bowl is conducted similar to the Senior Super Bowl with the exception that junior area scores are compared statewide to determine state results. In the senior competition, those scores are compared to determine state finalists, who then go on to the finals at Purdue University (held this Saturday).
