Students from 30 high schools across the state competed in Seminole State College’s 51st annual Interscholastic Meet on March 27. More than 900 students attended the event. 

Individual entries were separated into two divisions. Division I was composed of students from schools classified as 3A, 4A and 5A. Students from 2A and A class schools competed in Division II. 

Exams were administered to students in 15 different subject areas during morning and early-afternoon testing sessions. Four art categories were offered as well: sculpture, painting, drawing and best in show. The top three winners within each art category and the top five winners in each academic subject were awarded medals. 

A trophy was awarded to the top school in each division based on accumulation of points and medal placing. Morris High School was the Division I Sweepstakes Champion. Tecumseh High School was the runner-up. In Division II, The Academy of Seminole was the Sweepstakes Champion, and Strother High School earned runner-up.
