Congratulations to the Ruckel Academic Team for their hard work today at Davidson! There were some extremely tough rounds of questions today. JV placed 2nd (with a 5-1 record)! Varsity almost came in third place, and tied for record with Lewis, but came up short in points (7-3, 870 vs 950 points). Our last competition of the year is March 11th (in 2 weeks!) at STEMM. The students did their best today and had a great time! Go Ruckel!
