0By Teena Rowe
UPIKE won first place at the academic meet Saturday, Nov. 1, in Armington Science Center.
There was one Division 1 team (junior/senior) and two Division 2 teams (freshman/sophomore), with four teams in each division. Division 1 consisted of UPIKE A, UPIKE B, Eastern Kentucky University, and Cumberland. Division 2 had UPIKE A, Big Sandy, Eastern Kentucky University, and Cumberland.
There were six rounds in both divisions. UPIKE A came in first place overall. UPIKE B, with a very close game, came in 4th place to EKU.
Division 2 came in last place after losing by less than three questions in three games.
Louisville is usually the biggest competition, but they were unable to make it to this meet. We have improved a lot this year, so I can’t wait to see where we stand with them in the future,” Collan McCoy, junior and member of the academic team, said.
