GHS claims two more academic state titles
A year off from team competition did not slow down the Greencastle High School Academic Super Bowl program.
On Monday, the GHS math and science teams claimed two more Class 3 state titles for the program, bringing the total number of state championships in school history to 31.
Putnam County had two teams finish as runners-up, with the North Putnam English team placing second in Class 3, as well as the Cloverdale fine arts team finishing second in Class 4.
Members of the Greencastle math team include Stephen Dombrowski, Ben Huff, Eihi Yoshinaya, Mason Howard Casey Crary and coach Gayle Hansen.
Coached by Brad Kingma, the GHS science team includes Howard, Maiesha Rashid, Bailey Williams and Crary.
Greencastle’s total of 31 Academic Super Bowl Title keeps GHS in the all-time lead for titles, ahead of West Lafayette. For now, the Tippecanoe County School has 29 total titles following a win in the Class 2 math competition. West Lafayette could also claim the interdisciplinary title later this week, pulling closer to Greencastle’s total.
The North Putnam English team includes Breanna Richardson, Ruby Sullivan, Grace Timm, Nicole Huffman, Lily Gaddis and coach Monique Fields.
The Cloverdale fine arts team includes Phoebe McDonald, Lily Monnett, Sadie Priest, Ruthie Mann and coach Chelsey Meluch.
Cloverdale had two other state finalists in its math and science teams.
A full story with coaches’ comments will be published later this week.
