Junior High Winners

The Redfield School held their annual Geography Bee on Friday, January 15 at the auditorium. During a championship tie breaking round, Savanah Sucor and Wile Harr were asked, “After the US and France, which island country generates the most power from nuclear energy?” Answer: Japan. Both students answered incorrectly so proceeded on to more questions, such as “Which small asian country is home to eight of the ten highest mountain peaks in the world?” Answer: Nepal.

Pictured back row left to right: Cole Wegner and Duncan Schwartz, tied for third; and Jake Baloun, tied for fourth place.

Front row: Wylie Harr, second place; Savanah Sucor, first place; and Matthew Collins, tied for fourth place.

Savanah will now take a written test that will be sent to the National Geography Board for competition.
